Maharashtra Police have taken religious leader Kalicharan Maharaj in its custody in connection with a complaint filed at Thane’s Naupada police station for making an inflammatory speech at a  Dharm Sansad last year in December.

Maharashtra Police took Kalicharan's custody from the Raipur jail in Chhattisgarh. He will be brought to Naupada police station late Thursday night. A case has been registered against Kali Charan at Naupada police station under sections 295 (A) 298, 505 (2) 506, 34 of IPC.

Earlier this month, he was transferred to Chhattisgarh from Pune jail.
Kalicharan was arrested by Chhattisgarh police from Madhya Pradesh for his hate speech against minorities at a Dharam Sansad held in Raipur on December 26.

"A programme was organised at Natubaug Maidan on December 19 in Pune where Kalicharan made hate speeches that could incite people and hurt religious sentiments," Pune police has said earlier.

The other co-accused in the case are Mohanrao Shete, Dipak Nagpure and Capt. Digendra Kumar.
