Assam Police Arrest Man for Obscene Comments on Durga Puja; DGP Assures Lawful Action

A video surfaced recently on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where a man identified as Abdul Kashem Ali from Goalpara, Assam, made vulgar remarks about Hindu women. The video, which included derogatory comments about Hindu girls and women during the Vijaya Dashami celebrations, quickly sparked outrage among the Hindu community.

In the controversial video, Ali was heard making lewd statements, saying, "We attend Durga Puja Visarjan only to watch Hindu women, how their breast move when they dance." The offensive nature of the comments fueled anger and frustration, leading to demands for stringent legal action against the individual.

Responding promptly to the incident, the Director General of Police (DGP) of Assam, G.P. Singh, took to X to assure the public that action was being taken. "He has been arrested, and lawful action is being taken by the district police," Singh confirmed in his post, seeking to address the growing unrest.

The incident highlights rising communal tensions in Assam, where sentiments against derogatory comments targeting specific religious groups are running high. The authorities have initiated legal proceedings against Ali, and further investigations are underway to determine the appropriate charges.

The swift arrest serves as a reminder of Assam Police's commitment to maintaining communal harmony and ensuring that such offensive acts are met with appropriate legal consequences. The outrage following this incident underscores the public's growing intolerance towards any disrespectful remarks that aim to disturb peace during religious festivities.
