Fresh case against Prashant Bhushan for tweet on Lord Krishna

Lawyer-politician Prashant Bhushan has been booked in Muzaffarnagar for allegedly hurting religious sentiments over his "offensive" remarks against Lord Krishna.

The case was last evening registered on the basis of a complaint by Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha president Yogendra Verma at civil lines police station, police said today.

Verma alleged that religious sentiments of many people were hurt by the Swaraj Abhiyan founder's remarks against Lord Krishna.

"Romeo loved just one lady, while Krishna was a legendary eve-teaser. Would Adityanath have the guts to call his vigilantes anti-Krishna squads?" Bhushan had tweeted on Sunday while criticising the 'anti-Romeo' drive in UP.

He had, however, apologised for his remarks and deleted the controversial tweets.

Several complaints against Bhushan over his remarks on Lord Krishna were lodged in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. His effigies were also burnt in Mathura and Vrindavan.
