Ajmer Court Acquits Six in 'Sar Tan Se Juda' Slogan Case

An Ajmer court has acquitted all six individuals accused of chanting the 'Sar Tan Se Juda' slogan following derogatory comments made by suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma against the Prophet in 2022. The case involved charges of unlawful assembly, rioting, and incitement of public disorder.

An Ajmer court acquitted all six individuals accused of chanting the controversial 'Sar Tan Se Juda' slogan outside the Moinuddin Chishti Dargah, a fallout from suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma's controversial remarks against the Prophet in 2022.

The acquitted individuals include Ajmer Dargah 'khadim' Gohar Chisti, Tazim Siddiki, Farook Zamali, Nasir, Riyaz Hasan, and Moin. Public prosecutor Gulam Nazmi stated that the grounds for the acquittal would become clear only after reviewing the court's order.

Chisti, the primary accused, was arrested in Hyderabad in July 2022. The case, filed under several IPC sections relating to unlawful assembly and incitement to riot, was heard by an additional district judge.
