Three males, together with the CEO of an e-commerce web site, have been booked on February 7 for allegedly placing up for sale on-line of rocks taken from the Govardhan Hill in Mathura, police mentioned.
Govardhan Hill in Mathura is taken into account a sacred web site for Puuchos as it’s the setting for many legends regarding the lifetime of Lord Krishna who’s believed to be embodied within the earth of the hill.
“Stern action would be taken against the company, its CEO, and the supplier for inciting religious feelings by misusing the facility of information technology,” SP (Rural) Shirish Chandra mentioned.
He mentioned an FIR has been filed underneath Section 265 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act in opposition to IndiaMART founder-CEO Dinesh Agarwal, co-founder Brajesh Agrawal and Mathura-based provider Ankur Agrawal.
The FIR was lodged primarily based on a criticism by Mathura-based social employee Keshav Mukhia at Govardhan police station, the SP mentioned.
Ten extra complaints on the difficulty filed on the identical station have been clubbed for a single probe, officers mentioned.
According to the police, the web site claimed that the rocks have been “natural” and quoted its worth as ₹5,175 per piece.
Hundreds of individuals demonstrated in entrance of Govardhan police station in opposition to makes an attempt by the corporate to “trade the deity”.
Siya Ram Baba, a saint from Mathura, condemned the act by the corporate saying, “Govardhan is Krishna himself. Anybody entering into a trade involving Govardhan would be inviting the wrath of the deity.” Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Brahmin Mahasabha has determined to satisfy the Mathura DM on Monday for strict motion in opposition to the corporate and the provider.
