Court acquits Ajmer cleric, 5 others over slogans against Nupur Sharma

The slogans were supposedly raised in response to derogatory comments made by Sharma against the Prophet.

The trial was held in the court of an additional district judge in Ajmer. According to public prosecutor Gulam Nazmi, the Ajmer dargah's khadim, Gauhar Chishti, as well as Tazim Siddiki, Farook Zamali, Nasir, Riyaz Hasan and Moin have been acquitted by the court.

Chishti faced accusations of delivering hate speech in the presence of police from the Nizam gate of the Moinudin Chishti Dargah on June 17, 2022. He also held a rally shortly after for the Muslim community in protest of Nupur Sharma's remarks.
