FIR in Ghaziabad After Videos Show Swords Distributed at Hindu Raksha Dal Event

Police in Ghaziabad register a case after videos of swords being handed out at the Hindu Raksha Dal office in Shalimar Garden circulate. Officers say weapons were distributed publicly in the presence of organisation president Pinky Chaudhary, and an event described as self-defence training for common people is now under investigation.

According to police records, an FIR has been filed against 16 identified individuals and around 25 to 30 unknown participants linked to the Hindu Raksha Dal event. So far, 10 accused have been arrested, while several police teams are working to track the remaining suspects using local inputs and digital evidence.

Hindu Raksha Dal sword distribution and legal action by Ghaziabad police

Officials state that handing out weapons in an open gathering without official clearance may breach legal provisions. Police sources mention that such programmes require clear administrative permission, which appears missing here. The force has taken a strict stand, treating the sword distribution and display as a serious public order issue.

Investigators are now checking multiple video clips from the Hindu Raksha Dal sword distribution event to confirm who received weapons and who organised logistics. Footage from mobile phones and CCTV cameras near the Shalimar Garden office is being analysed. Based on this evidence, police aim to identify every participant and fix individual responsibility.

Hindu Raksha Dal sword distribution, self-defence claims and training plans

During the gathering, Hindu Raksha Dal office-bearers reportedly told attendees that every Hindu household should keep means for self-defence. Speakers referred to recent incidents involving Hindus in Bangladesh and urged the community to remain alert. The organisation argues that preparation for self-defence can help people face any situation of insecurity.

Hindu Raksha Dal functionaries also say there is a plan to provide training on what they call proper use of weapons in future sessions. While the group frames the swords as tools for personal protection of families, especially women and girls, the police response underlines that such measures must operate within existing law and formal permission processes.
