Kashmir-based YouTuber Faisal Wani has been arrested for his video depicting the beheading of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, reported India Today.
Wani, who had apologised for his video, was arrested by Jammu and Kashmir Police today.
He runs a fitness channel called Deep Pain Fitness on YouTube.
“It [the video] went viral in no time. Yes, I made the video but I did not have any ill intentions. I deleted the video and I apologise if it hurt anyone,” the YouTuber had said earlier in the day.
In a video posted on his channel earlier this week, the YouTuber was seen bare-bodied and wielding a sword, which he used to behead a photo of Nupur Sharma, over her Prophet remarks. The graphic video has now been deleted from Wani’s channel.
FIR registered u/s 505 and 506 IPC at Safa Kadal Police Station, quoting J-K police ANI report said.
