Mumbai: Following the controversy surrounding the “I Love Muhammad” banner in Mumbai, police have filed a case against Ashfaq David for holding an unauthorized rally in Byculla Ghorup Dev. A protest was held yesterday afternoon in Modi Compound with “I Love Muhammad” placards. No police permission was obtained, prompting police to file a case against Ashfaq last night and release him after serving a notice the same night. The case against Ashfaq has been filed for holding an unauthorized rally, but not for writing “I Love Muhammad” (PBUH). Furthermore, attempts are being made to give this matter a religious twist, and communal elements are conspiring to disrupt law and order in Mumbai under the guise of the “I Love Muhammad” banner, which is why police are on high alert. The FIR filed against Ashfaq by Byculla police is registered under sections 223, 37, and 135 of the IPC. Mumbai Police have registered a case under sections 223, 37, and 135 of the I Love Muhammad Act for holding an unauthorized rally as part of the I Love Muhammad movement. This is the first case registered, sparking political debate. AIMIM leader Waris Pathan stated that the case was wrong and could have been filed in an NC case. He added that the police’s action in the I Love Muhammad case is unjustified. “We have the right to protest. No action is taken against those who spread venom against Muslims, but the police immediately file cases against Muslims.” The police have subsequently denied this. This action has angered Muslims, who claim the police are quick to take action against Muslims. The police have since denied this, stating that the case was not filed for displaying the I Love Muhammad banner. There should be no attempt to distort it.

Thane: In a major crackdown against wildlife trafficking, the Sakinaka Police successfully foiled an attempt to illegally smuggle two rare gibbon chicks on Sunday. Acting on a tip-off, the police team laid a trap and apprehended the accused while they were in possession of the endangered animals.

The gibbon chicks were found unharmed and are now under proper care and rehabilitation by forest authorities. The accused are in police custody, with legal proceedings underway.

This incident follows recent seizures by Mumbai Airport Customs in August, where nearly 70 exotic wildlife animals smuggled from Bangkok were recovered in two separate cases.

Officials said some of these animals belong to endangered species protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

Two individuals involved in the trafficking were arrested, highlighting continued vigilance against illegal wildlife trade.
