After receiving a complaint from BJP leader Neeraj Jain, local police arrested Chandra Mohan, a student from the Department of Graphics at the Fine Arts College for allegedly making obscene paintings of Hindu deities and Jesus Christ and hurting religious sentiments. Chandra Mohan has been charged with sections 153 and 114 as well as sections 295 A and 295 B. He is presently in Central Jail, Baroda and has been denied bail. As informed by the university officers, a group of BJP activists stormed into the exhibition hall and vandalised some of the paintings.

heyyy wait wait and read it before taking any decision .In our country the people have been given all the liberty and never been put under any charge . despite lord RAM HANUMAN was taken as a god and he was worshipped but none protested by saying its against their sentiments . In fact these all alliance of BJP are provoking indians by describing the fact in a wrong manner . It was an internal of university that guy was depicting a picture and if it was not good the teacher of that university should have not given him the marks . But being bully and powerful these ABVP leaders tried to show their power and get fame in this cheap manner .
