Section 196 deals with acts, speeches or writings that promote enmity between different groups on grounds such as religion, race, caste, language or place of birth.The incident took place on June 27 when Balu and several other BJP leaders allegedly entered the school premises and confronted the management over the introduction of Urdu as a second language.“The children have been exposed to Urdu songs, Urdu text in study material and religious content, raising concerns among some parents,” Balu told reporters.When the school principal attempted to explain the school’s position, the confrontation allegedly escalated into an argument. Khan said he was only carrying out the responsibilities assigned to him by the school management.“I was slapped and subjected to abusive behaviour,” he said.Mallaiah told the police that Urdu classes were conducted by Umme Hani for only two days.“Inquiries revealed that Urdu classes were conducted without the necessary permissions,” the inspector said, adding that the investigation was on and further action would be taken after examining the available evidence, witness statements and other material collected during the probe.
