On December 31st, Bhairi Naresh, a Dalit activist and president of Atheist Society of India for the state of Telangana, was detained for making blasphemous comments on the birth of Hindu god Lord Ayyappa and allegedly mocking Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. After a video of Naresh's speech went viral on social media platforms, chaos ensued at Kosigi town, where one of Naresh's followers, was assaulted by a large mob of devotees of Lord Ayyappa. Dolu Hanumanthu, another activist and organizer of the group was also detained. Cases were booked against Naresh by various religious groups in different places of Telangana, which includes Kodangal, Hyderabad, and Warangal, all claiming that he hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu community. Naresh is booked under several sections of the Indian Penal Code pertaining to blasphemy which include “promoting enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion, and uttering, words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person.”
