Jaipur: Posters accusing a Congress councillor of an alleged exodus of a Hindu family in the Kishanpole space right here triggered a row, following which police have been deployed, officers stated on Saturday.
Recently, a Hindu offered his house close to Purohito Ka Chowk to a Muslim family.
Some individuals put up posters alleging the “exodus of Hindu families” in Kishanpole and blamed Congress councillor Fareed Quereshi for it.
DCP (North) Rashi Dogra Dudi stated the property papers have been checked and there was nothing unlawful. “We will register a case against those who put up posters under IPC 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion),” he stated.

Locals claimed that the property proprietor offered the house to Quereshi’s cousin at the same time as Hindu households have been keen to purchase it.
When contacted, Qureshi denied the allegations of the exodus and stated Hindus and Muslims have been dwelling in peace in the realm.
He accused the BJP of instigating locals.
“In his statement to police, the property owner has said that he did not find a buyer willing to pay the desired amount (for the property). And when he finally found one, he sold the property. There was no pressure on him,” Quereshi stated.
