New Delhi, September 22: Setting a car afire or attacking a building with firearms cannot be justifiable way of protest against insult to Islam or Prophet Muhammad. Youths under the banner of Khudai Khidmatgar here on Friday came up with a noble idea of protest against the infamous blasphemous movie on Prophet Muhammad. Less than a dozen youths this evening gathered outside the American Center in the heart of Delhi and distributed a book on the life of the Prophet among the passers-by and employees of the center outside.

“Within half an hour, we distributed 125 copies of the book Islam ke Paighambar Hazrat Muhammad (a book in Hindi written by Prof. KS Rao). As it was office closure time, so educated people, men and women coming out of offices in the neighborhood happily accepted the book,” Faisal Khan of Khudai Khidmatgar told TCN.

He informed that police tried to prevent them from distributing the book, they even snatched their camera and deleted all photos.

“We knew they would not allow us to gather outside the American Center. So we all eight were individually on either side of the road and exactly at 6 pm we gathered in front of the main gate. The policemen stopped us. We argued we are distributing books, we are not breaking any law. We told them that people from Hare Rama Hare Krishna mission park their van at Palika Bazar and whole day they distribute literature on Hindu religion, why don’t you stop them. As one member of our team was clicking photos of us distributing the book, the police snatched the camera and deleted photos. Anyhow, some other member managed to click some photos,” said Khan, a noted civil and human rights activist.

Mumbai, Aug 5: A day after the Bihar government requested for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the Centre has accepted the state’s request. 

The CBI, which falls under the Union Home Ministry, will now take over the probe. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on Wednesday stated in the apex court that the Centre has accepted the request floated by the Nitish Kumar government recommending a CBI inquiry.

A bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy observed that truth behind the 34-year-old Rajput's death should come out. "Truth should come out so far as actor's death is concerned," the SC bench said as reported by news agency.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is also hearing a petition filed by model-actress Rhea Chakraborty who was in a relationship with the deceased actor. In her plea, she sought the transfer of an FIR lodged in Patna by Rajput's father, K K Singh, who had accused her of abetting his suicide.

The 34-year-old actor was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14.
