Hindu Raksha Dal chief Pinki Chaudhary, surrendered at Delhi’s Mandir Marg police station at around 2.30 pm today in Jantar Mantar hate sloganeering case.
In a video circulated on WhatsApp and some other platforms, he claimed that the charges against him are “false and baseless”.
A video showing anti-Muslim slogans being raised during a protest at Jantar Mantar here was widely circulated on social media earlier, following which the Delhi Police had registered a case in this connection.
The Delhi Police have already arrested eight people—Uttam Upadhyay, Ashwini Upadhyay, Preet Singh, Deepak Singh, Deepak Kumar, Vinod Sharma, Vinit Bajpai and Sushil Tiwari—in connection with the case.
In the video, Chaudhary is heard saying that he will surrender at the Connaught Place police station on Tuesday around 12 pm and cooperate with the investigation.
The Delhi High Court on Friday had refused to grant interim protection from arrest to Bhupinder Tomar alias Pinki Chaudhary.
Earlier this month, a sessions court here had dismissed Chaudhary’s anticipatory bail application.
Hundreds of people had attended the protest organised by ‘Bharat Jodo Aandolan’.
