Namaz incident: Hindu Raksha Dal protests outside Delhi Police headquarters over SI's suspension

NEW DELHI: Members of Hindu Raksha Dal held a protest outside Delhi Police headquarters on Tuesday. They were protesting against the suspension of a sub-inspector who allegedly kicked some people offering namaz on a road in the Inderlok area.
During the protest, the members of the right-wing outfit chanted 'Hanuman Chalisa' and 'Jai Shree Ram'.
The incident took place on March 8, when sub-inspector Manoj Kumar Tomar shoved and kicked a few individuals who were praying on the road near a mosque.This led to a protest by hundreds of locals and the immediate suspension of the accused.
"If they have rights to offer namaz on roads, we have rights too to chant Hanuman Chalisa on the roads as well. Our main demand is to bring the sub-inspector back on duty and to cancel his suspension orders," a Hindu Raksha Dal leader said.
The Delhi Police have deployed both police and paramilitary forces to maintain law and order.
To prevent the protesters from reaching the police headquarters, the police have closed the route by barricading the road.
