Kota, December 15: The Rajasthan government-led state police have arrested a YouTube singer name Shubham Shikari for uploading a song which demands 'Shivalay' instead of the Gyanavapi Mosque. As per the reports, he has been arrested on a complaint filed by 'Raghuraj Singh of Kota.
This comes after the Shubham shared the song “Tera Mandir Banaenge Shivaay” on his channel four months ago following the discovery of a Shivling inside the disputed Gyanvapi structure in Varanasi.
Anantpura police station in Kota has booked Shikari under sections 5,6,7, 295 A, 425 and 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Later, he got bail but police seized his mobile and other belongings. As per reports, police are trying to cover the case and it is believed that the incident can incite communal sentiments.
Following this Shubham Shikari uploaded another video in which he appealed to the people that he should be given justice and that the mobile police seized by the police should be returned. Shubham said that his phone contains his songs and many personal data.
After this video came on social media, people started supporting Shubham his song. A person on social media claims, "when a song is made in the name of "Kafir" in Bollywood, it is appreciated, but when a small singer sings a song about building a temple of Shiva, it is termed as communal, is it okay?"
