The Ajmer Police last night (July 5) arrested the Khadim of Ajmer Dargah Salman Chishti, who had allegedly given a provocative statement against former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.

Syed Salman Chishti, a history-sheeter, had released a video wherein he abused Nupur Sharma and made an appeal to behead her for her remarks involving Prophet.

"It was brought to my notice that Salman Chishti shared an objectionable video following which an FIR was lodged against him. He was nabbed from his house and is being questioned. He is a history-sheeter and it seems he was in an inebriated state when the video was made," said Vikas Sangwan, Additional Superintendent of Police in Ajmer.
