Bihar police gears up to scan antecedents of Taufique, held for raising 'pro-Pakistan' slogans

Patna, Jul 16 (UNI) A scene of 'pro-Pakistan'-slogans-raising protestors is something unusual for Patna police unlike its counterparts facing the situation in Kashmir Valley, so the incident leading to arrest of Mohammad Taufique has sent the alarm bells ringing in top brasses of Bihar police who have pulled up their socks to scan his antecedents. DIG (Patna range) N H Khan told mediapersons here that Taufique has claimed to be secretary of Mithila region of Progressive Front of India which is virtually an unknown outfit in police records. The person, arrested on charges of raising slogans in favour of Pakistan and making provocative speeches while leading a procession in support of controversial Islamic scholar Zakir Naik and AIMM chief A Owaisi, near Gandhi Maidan in Patna, was also a new figure for Bihar police, the DIG said. "Taufique, a native of Madhubani district, is being intensely interrogated to ascertain his links with other associations or persons that may lead to draw the conclusion whether his act of raising anti-national slogans in Patna, has roots in any terror outfit", Mr Khan said adding that prima facie, the act was aimed at disturbing peace and communal harmony.
