Court Rejects Bail for IMC Chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza in Bareilly Violence Case
Imagine there was a big argument in a town because of some posters.
During this argument, some people got angry and started throwing rocks at the police and even stole a police radio.
The main leader of the group, Maulana Tauqeer Raza, had asked his supporters to gather even though the police said it wasn't allowed.
Because of this, the Maulana and five other people were arrested.
They asked a judge if they could be let out of jail while they wait for their trial, but the judge said no.
The Maulana has been in jail since the day after the posters caused trouble.
A Bareilly court rejected the bail pleas of IMC chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza and five others.
They were arrested for attacking police during violence on September 26 over 'I Love Mohammad' posters.
Raza had reportedly called for a gathering despite prohibitory orders.
The mob allegedly resorted to stone-pelting, stole a rifle, and a police wireless set.
