Acting Deputy IGP: Almost 800 reports received against preacher for insulting Hinduism
The acting Deputy Inspector-General of Police said this led to the arrest of 34-year-old preacher, Mohammad Zamri Vinoth, an associate of controversial preacher Zakir Naik."We are also trying to track down the owner of the"Info Sunnah Kelantan" YouTube account which uploaded the video," said Comm Abdul Hamid in a statement on Sunday.
He also warned the public to not cause any provocation on social media that may trigger racial tensions in the country. Mohammad Zamri is being investigated under Section 298A of the Penal Code for causing disunity and spurring hatred among the people and Section 233 of the Multimedia and Communications Act for misusing network facilities and services.
The suspect, in a 70-second video clip posted on social media, allegedly uttered blasphemous statements against Hinduism.
