Abhinav Arora, the 10-year-old boy, who has been in news after his video went viral where he was seen being scolded by Hindu spiritual leader Swami Rambhadracharya on stage during an event, is being allegedly targetted by "anti-Hindu" YouTubers, according to his family members. The family of the 10-year-old preacher, who is popularly known as Bal Sant Baba has filed a complaint before a Mathura court seeking action against YouTubers trolling him.
Arora's mother had has moved a Mathura court for registration of a criminal case against at least seven YouTubers for allegedly trolling the minor, the Bar and Bench reported.
The mother in her complaint has called the accused (YouTubers) anti-Hindu elements, who are making videos which promote hate against the practices and beliefs of the Hindu religion, and are polluting the minds of its followers, the report said.
The mother has further termed the videos defamatory and described them as a calculated attempt to disrupt religious harmony and incite hatred, the report added.
The criminal complaint claims that the YouTubers have violated Bal Sant Baba's privacy, and have also uploaded a video "maliciously designed" to mock and defame Arora's religious beliefs.
The complaint has further claimed that the videos trolling Arora have caused immense emotional suffering to him as a minor child. And he is unable to freely practice his religion or live his daily life without the fear of being harassed or insulted.
The complaint lodged by the mother claims that these trolling videos has driven her to the stage of absolute collapse and family suicide, the report said.
Alleging inaction on part of the Police, the mother has sought a direction from the Mathura Court to the police for registration of a First Information Report (FIR) for offences like criminal conspiracy, outraging of religious feelings, cheating, criminal defamation, criminal intimidation and extortion.
