The Barabanki police have fired a first information report (FIR) against online news media organisation, The Wire, for allegedly inciting communal unrest over its video documentary on the demolition of a mosque by district administration. Seraj Ali and Mukul S. Chauhan, journalists with The Wire, and two others, Mohammad Naeem and Mohammad Anees, have been named in the FIR.
The Barabanki district administration, in May, had demolished the mosque, located on the Ramsnehi Ghat Tehsil premises, citing ‘illegal structure’. The UP Sunni Waqf Board, under which the mosque is registered, termed the district administration’s action illegal and moved the Allahabad High Court. The matter is pending in the High Court now.
