Amravati chemist murder case: Security arrangements were beefed up in Maharashtra s Amravati ahead of Shradhanjali Sabha of Umesh Prahladrao Kolhe, a chemist, who was killed on June 21 over his post supporting suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma s comments involving Prophet Muhammad.
Zubair was simultaneously targeted by thousands of TekFog accounts, hundreds of bot accounts affiliated with a man who has extensive links to the BJP as well as a history of hate speech, all over a single tweet.
Nupur Sharma was earlier asked to appear before the Amherst and Narkeldanga Police stations, however, she had failed to appear and sought more time citing security threat.
The development comes one day after the Supreme Court came down heavily on Sharma for her remarks on Prophet Mohammad. SC said her loose tongue has set the entire country on fire and that she is single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country .
