Will Arrest Sharjeel Usmani for Elgar Parishad Speech, Says Maha Home Minister Anil Deshmukh

A day after the Pune Police registered an FIR against Sharjeel Usmani for his speech at the recently held Elgar Parishad conclave, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said the alumnus of the Aligarh Muslim University will be arrested.

"The police have inspected the statements made by Sharjeel on the platform of Elgar Parishad. He is not in Maharashtra, but wherever he is, we will arrest him," Deshmukh told reporters.

Earlier in the day, state BJP president Chandrakant Dada Patil wrote to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath seeking immediate Usmani’s arrest.
