Gandhinagar: There has been a third case of crime registered against Ghatkopar, Mumbai-based Mufti Salman Azhari over provocative speech. This third case in Gujarat is filed in the Arvalli district this time over Mufti’s speech on 24 December last year. It is learnt that apart from other the Mufti is booked under the Atrocity act in this complaint in Modasa.

The earlier two cases against Mufti were filed in Junagadh and Kutch in Gujarat. Mufti was sent to a day-long remand after his arrest in the Junagadh case and he is on a 3-day remand at present after his arrest in the Kutch case.

It is now certain that after he gets bail in the Kutch case, the Police will arrest him in the Arvalli case. The Anti Terrorist Squad(ATS) of Gujarat Police is meanwhile also probing into the funding of all three Trusts run by Mufti Salman Azhar.

Mufti was picked up by Gujarat Police from his Ghatkopar-based residence in Mumbai amid high-drama of his supporters blocking the road and gathering in large numbers at a local police station. Hours after he was picked up from his home, Police could leave with Mufti for Junagadh.
