Prize money to arrest Qureshi announced

Several organisations have announced prize money for the person who nabs absconding Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Haji Yaqoob Qureshi, who offered Rs 51 crore reward for terrorists who attacked a French magazine.

Shiv Sena has announced that it will give Rs 1 lakh to the person who punishes  Qureshi with ‘ten shoe lashes’. “Qureshi’s remarks have shocked the humanity....he deserves to be punished”, said Sena leader Yogendra Sharma.

Sharma, who is the district unit president of the Sena in Muzaffarnagar, said that leaders like Qureshi must be put behind bars immediately.

A saffron outfit has also announced a reward of Rs 100 crore  for nabbing Qureshi, who has been absconding after the police registered a case against him for his remarks at Meerut a few days ago.

A senior Uttar Pradesh police official has also announced a reward of Rs 20,000 to the police team which would arrest Qureshi. Thakur, an IPS officer, said that he would personally reward the police team.

 Qureshi has been booked for inciting hatred and making  inflammatory statement. “Those who insult religion and Prophet cannot be pardoned under any circumstances,” Qureshi had said offering a reward of Rs 51 crore to the attackers.
