Ujjain: Police have registered an offence against RSS leader Kundan Chandravat, who had announced a bounty of Rs 1 crore for beheading the Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
Meanwhile, the RSS has also stripped Chandravat of the post of Ujjain Mahanagar Sah Prachar Pramukh (joint chief of publicity).
"We booked Chandravat yesterday under IPC section 505 (1) (B) (whoever makes any statement with intent to cause, or which is likely to cause, fear or alarm to the public, or to any section of the public whereby any person may be induced to commit an offence against the State or against the public tranquility)," said Ujjain district Superintendent of Police Manohar Verma.
RSS senior state functionary Prakash Shastri said in a statement issued today, "Chandravat has been stripped of the duties of Mahanagar sah prachar pramukh."
His speech sparked an uproar, drawing condemnation from the RSS, the CPI(M) and the Congress two days ago.
He also claimed that 300 innocent people belonging to the RSS had been killed but the Kerala Chief Minister was turning a blind eye.
Kerala has been witnessing a series of political clashes between the cadres of BJP-RSS and the ruling CPI(M), especially in the northern Kannur district from where Vijayan hails, for a long time.
As his remarks drew condemnation from various quarters, including the Sangh, Chandravat had retracted his statement. He had claimed he got some phone calls from Kerala threatening to kill him and was being targeted in social media.
