Mumbai: An FIR has been filed at the Colaba Police Station regarding obscene depictions and cartoons displayed at the Maskara Gallery in Colaba, Mumbai. The gallery allegedly featured obscene depictions of the human body and obscene cartoons of Hindu deities.
Cartoonist and gallery owner held accountable
The Mumbai Police have filed a case against cartoonist T. Vaikanna and gallery owner Abhay Maskara in connection with the incident. The police have registered a case under sections 294, 295, 299, and 3 (5) of the IPC and are investigating the matter.
According to the complainant, obscene cartoons of Lord Shiva and Goddess Kali have also been displayed inside the gallery. Furthermore, there are no entry or exit notices for people over 18 years of age. The police are currently investigating the matter.
The “I Love Mohammed” controversy is already a hot topic in the country.
This controversy has emerged at a time when tensions are already swirling in the country over “I Love Mohammed” posters. The “I Love Mohammed” poster controversy escalated and violence erupted after Friday prayers in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The controversy, which began in Kanpur, has now spread to various cities. Police have arrested 22 rioters and detained more than 30 others. Several policemen have been injured. Muslim cleric Maulana Tauqeer Raza has been placed under house arrest and an FIR may be filed against him.
People believe this is not the first time religious sentiments have been hurt by obscene depictions. Previously, obscene depictions of Hindu deities and Muslim prophets have been used in the name of art, portraying them in a controversial manner. Art lovers must now understand that art has its place, but hurting someone’s religious sentiments through art is in no way justified. After such cases come to light, strict action should be taken against the culprits.
