Following the raising of controversial slogans, similar to “beheading for blasphemy,” in Bhagalpur, Bihar, the police have taken action. A video of the slogans went viral on social media. The video showed an individual at Bhagalpur railway station’s platform number 01, along with some children, waving a flag and shouting slogans. Upon receiving information, RPF Bhagalpur contacted GRP Bhagalpur, SS Bhagalpur, and the local Tatarpur police station, but no immediate information was available. Joint raids were conducted in nearby villages and neighborhoods, but the individuals could not be located.
Efforts are underway to find the unidentified individuals. It’s alleged that a youth named Arman Hussain, was raising slogans at Bhagalpur railway station while carrying a Palestinian flag. According to sources, approximately 4,000-5,000 people gathered near the mosque (Delhi end, Bhagalpur station) on Friday to celebrate the birthday of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad.
During the event, one person and a child came to platform number 01 and started shouting slogans with a flag. However, RPF employee Manish Kumar Yadav on duty warned them and continued his work. Further, on Saturday, SS Bhagalpur gave a written complaint to GRP Bhagalpur. Based on the received complaint, GRP Bhagalpur has registered a case under sections 191(2)/196/61/270/329/352 of the BNS under crime number 159/2025.
A joint team of RPF, GRP, and the local Habibpur police station was formed to identify and arrest the perpetrators. On Monday, four accused involved in the case were taken into custody and brought to the GRP office, where they are being questioned. All four accused are minors and they belong to the same village. Police have initiated questioning in the case. The video of the accused raising slogans has also gone viral on social media.
