Bihar Lok Sabha member Pappu Yadav visited the Parliament Street police station in Delhi on Tuesday to file a complaint against religious preacher Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. The grievance stems from Shastri's recent public remarks about Lord Krishna, which Yadav described as offensive and potentially inflammatory.
In his statement to the police, Yadav demanded a fair and impartial inquiry, emphasizing that any statements that could disturb communal harmony must be examined under the law. He also called for appropriate legal action if the investigation finds the comments to be in violation of existing statutes.
Shastri, known for his spiritual discourses, has not yet responded publicly to the allegation. The police have logged the FIR and indicated that the case will be forwarded to the relevant investigative agency for further scrutiny.
The incident highlights the sensitivity surrounding religious commentary in India, especially when it involves high‑profile political figures. Authorities are expected to handle the matter in accordance with the criminal procedure code and relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
