New Delhi: Former Goa unit chief of RSS Subhash Velingkar called for a DNA test of the relics of Saint Francis Xavier, who is revered as the patron saint, triggering protests across the state. Goa Police on Saturday said the leader is “absconding” and raids are being conducted to trace him.
An FIR was lodged against him Friday night at North Goa’s Bicholim police station under section 299 of BNS (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) based on the complaint by AAP MLA Cruz Silva. Earlier, at least half a dozen complaints were filed against Velingkar across Goa for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and disrupting communal harmony.
According to the FIR, the accused with “malicious intentions gave maligning speech against St Francis Xavier outraging the religious feelings and insulting religious beliefs of the complainant, entire class of his religion and others”.
