Chennai, March 20 : Tamil Nadu Police have arrested two persons for threatening to kill the judges of the Karnataka High Court who delivered the verdict on the hijab. Covai Rahmatullah was arrested in Tirunelveli, while Jamal Mohammed Usmani was detained in Thanjavur on Saturday, the police said. Rahmatullah, who is Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath leader, is seen in a video threatening to kill the three judges of Karnataka High Court who gave a verdict against wearing of hijab during classes in educational institutions. He is seen saying that the Karnataka High Court judges will meet the same fate as was met by a judge who was killed during a morning walk in Jharkhand. Rahmatullah issued death threats during a public meeting in Madurai. The police also registered a case against two more people, TNTJ Madurai district president Habibullah and vice-president Asan Batshah, who had organised the meeting. Meanwhile, Bengaluru police on Saturday registered an FIR against Rahmatullah who threatened to kill the judges including Karnataka Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi for giving verdict on hijab. In a complaint to the police, Sudha Katwa, a lawyer by profession, said she received a shocking video in Tamil language on Whatsapp from her colleague S Umapathi which depicted an open threat of murder of Karnataka Chief Justice and other two judges in the wake of recent judgement on hijab. Katwa alleged that the video seems to have originated from Tamil Nadu in open public meeting, wherein the speaker (Rahmatullah) refers to the murder of a judge while walking in Jharkhand state. The speaker makes a similar threat to Karnataka CJ by stating people know where he goes for walking, Katwa said. Further, she said, the speaker makes reference to the Allahabad High Court from where he is transferred to Karnataka High Court and also his visit to Udupi Mutt with family members. Katwa alleged that the speaker addresses CJ in singular language and openly challenges to file any case against him and addresses the court verdict in a very vulgar language. The hate speech not only spreads hatred in society but also directly targets the judiciary and legal comm ty, she said. Notably, the three-member bench of the High Court comprising Chief Justice Awasthi, Justices Krishna Dixit and Jaibunnisa M Kazi, recently dismissed the pleas seeking wearing of hijab during classes by noting that it is not an essential religious practice of Islam. The Court also upheld the government order asking the educational institutions to implement dress code where ever it has been enforced. BDN SY 1244
