Assam Files Case Against Kolkata Man Over Remarks on Hindu Deities

The Assam government has filed a case against Wazahat Khan Qadri Rashidi of Kolkata for allegedly making derogatory comments about Hindu deities, including Goddess Kamakhya. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the development and said Assam has sought West Bengal’s cooperation in handing over the accused. Rashidi had earlier filed a complaint against influencer Sharmishta Panoli, who was arrested. Now, he faces legal action for his own alleged offensive social media posts.
