Two days after five Muslim youths in Khandwa were charged with sedition for carrying an allegedly inflammatory poster, the police on Tuesday decided to withdraw the charge. Sub-Inspector Ramesh More of the Moghat Police Station told The Indian Express that there wasn’t enough evidence to justify the sedition charge.

On Sunday, at least 11 persons, including five minors, were booked for a poster displayed at a procession organised on the occasion of Eid Milad-un-Nabi in Khandwa on Saturday. “Hamare azm ko hamare gaddar jaan jayenge, agar itihas pad lenge to pehchan payenge, yeh Hindustan mere khwaja ka tha, aur rahega galat fehmi me mat rahna, ki Ram rajya layenge (Our traitors will know of our intentions, if they read history they will recognise, that India was my saint’s and will be, do not be under the false impression that they will bring Ram Rajya),” read the poster.
