255 people were arrested from seven districts of Uttar Pradesh during simultaneous raids conducted to identify and nab people involved in stone-pelting and arson during the protests after Friday prayers on June 10, police said on Saturday

“Such people have no place in a civilized society. Take care that no innocent is harassed, but ensure not a single guilty escapes,” chief minister Yogi Adityanath warned at a review meeting with officials on Saturday morning, according to a statement issued by the state government.

On Friday, nationwide protests were held by Muslims against the controversial comments on Prophet Mohammed made by former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal, during which pockets of Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal reported stone-pelting and arson. The Centre has maintained that the remarks by individuals denigrating the religious personality “do not, in any manner, reflect the views of the government of India”.

The UP police officials said 13 first information reports (FIRs) were registered in nine districts. They said nearly 200 people were named while about 5,500 unidentified people were mentioned in the FIRs. Heavy police deployment continued in several districts including Lucknow on Saturday.

Additional director general (ADG), law and order, Prashant Kumar said 68 people were arrested from Prayagraj, 64 from Saharanpur, and 50 from Hathras for their alleged involvement in the violence. 28 people were arrested in Ambedkarnagar, 27 in Moradabad, 13 in Firozabad, three in Aligarh, and two in Jalaun, he added.

The ADG said that the FIRs were registered under stringent sections in connection with Friday’s violence and action will be taken against the guilty under the Gangsters Act and their property will be seized.

“Following the legal procedure, compensation for the damage caused to the public property will be procured from culprits,” he said.

Another police official said three FIRs each were registered in Prayagraj and Saharanpur, while one each was registered in Firozabad, Aligarh, Hathras, Moradabad, Ambedkarnagar, Jalaun, and Lakhimpur Kheri. He said the arrests were made in seven districts. No arrests have been made in Lakhimpur Kheri and Jalaun so far.

The FIRs said that police personnel was injured in stone-pelting by troublemakers.

The official quoted above said the largest number of 85 people were named and 5,200 unidentified were mentioned in three FIRs registered in Pryagaraj.

He added four minors aged between 15 and 17 years were taken into custody along with 64 other people arrested in Prayagraj.

He said those taken into custody in Prayagraj, which was the most affected by the violence in the Atala area after Friday prayers, including those as young as 15 years and as old as 59 years of age.

He also said the state government had issued directions for the toughest action against all those anti-social elements who participated in attempts to vitiate the atmosphere in various cities of the state (on Friday).
