In a video released on Monday, Hindu Raksha Dal chief Pinki Chaudhary has said that he will surrender himself before Delhi Police on Tuesday.

Chaudhary is accused of raising communal slogans and inciting the youth to propagate negative ideas against a particular religion, at a rally held at the Jantar Mantar in the national Capital on August 8.

 “I am still firm on my point. I and no worker of my organisation did anything wrong at Jantar Mantar. I respect the court. I will surrender myself tomorrow, on August 31, around 12 pm at the Connaught Place police station and will cooperate with the police during the probe,” Chaudhary said in a video.

“I never run away from being arrested. It is the right of every person to go to court and I did the same. All the allegations against me are false and baseless. My life has been devoted towards Hinduism and Hindutva. As long as I am alive, I will continue to do the work of religion,” he further said in the video.

The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to grant interim protection from arrest to Bhupinder Tomar alias Pinki Chaudhary.

Earlier this month, a sessions court here had dismissed Chaudhary’s anticipatory bail application, saying, “We are not a Taliban State.”

A video showing anti-Muslim slogans being raised during a protest at Jantar Mantar here was widely circulated on social media, following which the Delhi Police registered a case in connection with the matter. Hundreds of people had attended the protest organised by the Bharat Jodo Aandolan. The Delhi Police has already arrested eight people in connection with the incident. The accused have been identified as Uttam Upadhyay, Ashwini Upadhyay, Preet Singh, Deepak Singh, Deepak Kumar, Vinod Sharma, Vinit Bajpai and Sushil Tiwari.

Preet Singh is the director of ‘Save India Foundation’ while Deepak Singh, Deepak Kumar and Vinod Sharma are associated with different Right-wing organisations and Sushil Tiwari is Hindu Army chief.
