New Delhi: A cleric of the Ajmer dargah, who on camera allegedly offered his house to anyone who beheads now-suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her controversial remark against Prophet Mohammad, has been arrested, police said on Wednesday. The Ajmer police had registered an FIR against ‘khadim’ Salman Chisti on Monday night.
“Salman Chisti was caught last night (Tuesday)… He is a history-sheeter at the Dargah police station,” an official said, The Economic Times reported.
In the video, the cleric is purportedly seen and heard announcing he would gift his house to anyone who brings Sharma’s head to him. Chishti is also allegedly heard saying he would shoot her dead for insulting the Prophet.
“You have to give a reply to all Muslim countries. I am saying this from Ajmer, Rajasthan and this message is from Huzur Khwaja Baba ka Darbar,” he said in the video, referring to the renowned Sufi shrine.
