New Delhi: In a seemingly outrageous incident, Deputy Superintendent Kuldeep Kumar, who is working as the Circle Officer in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal, has reportedly made a comment which has triggered immense controversy.
The threat issued by the DSP
He reportedly said, “Those beating their chests for Iran should go to Iran and fight themselves.” Kumar was speaking at a peace committee organised by the Sambhal police for the Muslim community for the final Friday of Ramzan and Eid prayers.
According to reports, during his speech, Kumar said, “Some people are beating their chests, crying, ‘They’ve killed Iran, they’ve killed Iran. Well, if it is that bad, then leave. And if that conflict starts affecting our country, then we will give them proper treatment.”
DSP warns over namaz as well
Also, he warned, “No single person should be seen offering namaz outside the mosque. That is something that will absolutely not be tolerated,” and threatened the authority will take step against anyone who does so for making reels.
Notably, people thronged the streets of Kashmir Valley after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during joint military strikes by the United States and Israel. Thousands of mourners and protesters flooded the streets across Jammu and Kashmir, plunging the region into a state of tense mourning.
As the report reached the valley, traditional mourning chants (Nauha) echoed through the streets of Srinagar, Budgam, Pattan, Sonawari, and Bandipora. For the region’s Shia Muslim community, Khamenei was not merely a head of state but a Marja-e-Taqlid, a supreme source of religious emulation.
