“There were 16 cases registered against Poojari but I have never said that he is facing 16 cases now,” IANS reported the state’s Home Minister as saying.

“Is it not true that Poojari was involved in crime cases? For such a person, they (BJP) have taken up such a large-scale protest,” he said.

He said that the court had verified 26 cases along with the case of Poojari.

“Are no Hindus involved in those cases? Why is BJP protesting for Poojari? The law is the same for me, LoP, as well as for the media. Whoever is guilty must be punished,” he said.
