After Kathi Mahesh, Kakinada seer faces police heat over hate speech, packed off to AP
HYDERABAD: Barely 48 hours after banishing film critic Kathi Mahesh from the city, Telangana police on Wednesday externed Swami Paripoornananda, who heads Kakinada-based Sri Peetham, for six months.
The decision to extern Paripoornananda raised eyebrows with police serving a notice on him early on Wednesday at a house in Jubilee Hills, where he was kept under house arrest since Monday.
Subsequently, he was shifted to Kakinada.
In an externment order issued on July 10, Hyderabad police commissioner Anjani Kumar claimed the decision to extern Paripoornananda was taken based on his vitriolic speeches at Narayankhed (Sangareddy) in November and Kamareddy in December last year. The order also referred to his Karimnagar speech in March 2018. He raked up issues which could provoke communal tension, police said.
Police claimed when they attempted to serve an externment order on July 9, 2018, Paripoornananda refused to take it. Aides of the swami dismissed this as a “lie”. Police also stated no person was willing to come forward and lodge a complaint against him and hence the externment order.
A Task Force team, led by deputy commissioner of police (Task Force) Radha Kishan Rao, went to the house where Paripoornananda was to shift him to Kakinada, leading to slogan shouting among supporters.
