FIR against ‘Mohammad’ Deepak: Uttarakhand High Court seeks status report
The High Court also asked the police to clarify why no case had been registered based on Mr. Deepak’s complaint against individuals who were clearly identifiable in the video recordings.
On March 17, 2026, the Uttarakhand High Court issued an order to the Kotdwar police demanding an update on the ongoing investigation into a First Information Report (FIR) filed against 'Mohammad' Deepak, a gym owner. The FIR was registered following the 71-year-old Muslim shop owner, Wakeel Ahmed, who faced harassment from members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal who objected to his store's name, 'Baba School Dress and Matching Centre'. Deepak intervened to protect Ahmed, leading to a viral video of the incident.
