The Uttarakhand Police on Saturday arrested seer Yati Narsinghanand Giri, one of the accused persons in the Haridwar hate speech case, ANI reported. Giri was allegedly one of the organisers of a “dharam sansad”, or a religious parliament, held in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar city between December 17 and December 19, during which Hindutva group members and seers had called for violence against Muslims.

The speakers at the event had asked Hindus to buy weapons to commit genocide against Muslims.
