SC Offers Relief To Nupur Sharma; Delhi Police To Probe All Cases Against Her

New Delhi: In a huge relief to the now-suspended BJP leader, Nupur Sharma the Supreme Court said that all the 10 cases filed across the country against her over her comments on Prophet Mohammed will be transferred to Delhi.

The apex court has also said that now Delhi Police will investigate the case. Meanwhile, the interim protection from arrest that was granted to Nupur Sharma on July 19 will also continue.

“If more FIRs are filed against Sharma over her remarks about the Prophet, they will automatically be transferred to the Delhi Police,” the court added.

At a hearing on July 1, two judges of the Supreme Court held Sharma “single-handedly responsible” for violence that broke out after her comment on the Prophet during a news channel debate.

Reportedly, over her comments about the Prophet Mohammed on a TV channel, Nupur Sharma was caught in the eye of a massive whirlpool of international row. Following this, she has been suspended from the saffron party immediately.
