An FIR has been lodged against a Bajrang Dal leader in Nagpur for allegedly making objectionable remarks concerning the Muslim community, according to police reports.

The complaint, registered under the category of 'hurting religious sentiments,' has been filed against Kamal Haryani, the Nagpur city convener of the right-wing group, at Gittikhadan police station. No arrests have been made so far, a police official said.
