A video that went viral on social media shows the man apparently offering food to people, but claims he is forcing recipients to chant "Jai Shri Ram" before they get anything. In one such video, a woman in a hijab protested against him, claiming she was asked to chant the word; when she refused, she was turned back without any food.
 




Witnesses started capturing the scenario and posting their comments on social media, where several individuals supported the man, while others considered it discrimination. Most of the people seen in the video stated that it is wrong to enforce religion slogans on the public and use the act as food distribution. It is considered not fair and discriminative.

Police of Bhoi Wada Launch Inquiry

The Bhoi Wada Police have begun their investigation into the incident after a video surfaced on social media. In the video, the food distributor appears to admit that he was requesting people to chant the word and claimed that he saw nothing wrong with it. Police are studying the claims and circumstances of the distribution.

Previous Similar Incidents

This is not the first incident of this kind. Recently, a man named Alamgir filed a complaint stating he was harassed for not chanting "Jai Shri Ram" while on his way to teach Urdu in Ghaziabad's Panchsheel Wellington Society. According to the complaint, Alamgir was asked to justify his presence in the society and was forced to say "Jai Shri Ram." When he refused, he was allegedly forced out of the elevator.
