Further investigation is underway. On Sunday Yati Narsinghanand, the head priest of Ghaziabad's Dasna Devi Temple and an accused in the Haridwar hate speech case, triggered another controversy by allegedly promoting communal violence.
Narsinghanand was speaking at an event organised by Preet Singh, founder of Save India Foundation, where around 200 people had gathered to participate in a "Hindu Mahapanchayat".
The foundation had earlier held similar controversial events in Haridwar and at Jantar Mantar in the national capital, where anti-Muslim slogans were raised.
