Lucknow : In a shocking incident police in Mahoba, Uttar Pradesh, has registered an FIR against 23 Muslim youth for “promoting enmity between groups on grounds of religion and hurting religious sentiments”, for serving “biryani” to Hindus at a Muslim religious congregation without telling them.
The FIR stated that buffalo meat was served mixed with rice without alerting the Hindus. Furthermore, it stated that that had been done in an intention to hurt Hindus.
The FIR was lodged under various sections of the IPC, including 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion), 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 420 (fraud) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
“This year, when the feast started, several Hindus were served rice on the pretext of it being ‘baba ka prasad’. When a few people started eating it, they found meat pieces and bones. When the matter escalated, a panchayat was called in which the main accused Papu Ansari accepted that buffalo meat was served by mistake. He apologized and offered to pay Rs 50,000 to arrange a Shuddhikaran. While some people agreed to it, others came to me. I went to the village and asked for an FIR to be registered against those responsible as they did this to knowingly hurt our religious feelings,” said MLA Rajpoot.
The alleged incident took place in the Charkhari police station area of the district on August 31 during Urs, a religious congregation organised by Muslim residents of Salat village. The religious congregation, according to the locals, has been organised every year for the past six years at a local shrine.

It is pathetic example of how Hindus are hoodwinked as they trust a fellow citizen. The conclusion is not to partake in such funtions and ensure that culprits are punished
Very Strange , what Hindus were doing in Muslim Religious function?. Muslim use even meat in their vegetable dishes.Meat is an essential item in their food. Hindus should learn not to go for free food in Muslim Functions. We Hindus must also learn the cultures of other people.If Hindus are invited then Hindus must tell them about our system before attending any Muslim congregation. I have attended many Muslim functions and at the time of food I always told them that I will only eat sweet dishes and one chapati.
