Gurugram namaz row reaches Supreme Court, contempt plea filed against Haryana top officers

Gurugram: A former Rajya Sabha MP has approached the Supreme Court, seeking action against the Haryana DGP and the Chief Secretary over the "namaz" row here.

The move has drawn a sharp reaction from a right-wing outfit, who accused him of "instigating" people and warned against prayers in the open on Friday. The petition has been filed by Mohammed Adeeb, also a resident of Gurugram.

He accused the state chief secretary and the DGP of failing to comply with court's directions regarding measures to curb communal and violent sentiments that result in hate crimes.
