Indian police in New Delhi are suing a suspended member of the ruling party for “inciting people to divide” on social media days after her remarks about the Prophet Mohammed sparked a diplomatic crisis.

India’s stance was condemned by many Muslim-majority countries after Nupur Sharma, spokeswoman for the ruling Bharatiya Janata party, commented on the private life of the Prophet Muhammad during a televised debate, comments that Muslims called offensive.

There were calls in the Gulf states to boycott Indian goods, and the spokesman for Bharatiya Janata was suspended and asked to make more responsible statements.

The Delhi Police said it had registered two major complaints based on “social media analysis and well-done attempts to violate public safety and incite people to divide.”

“One of them is linked to Ms. Nupur Sharma and the other is linked to several individuals on social media,” the police added.

On Sunday, Sharma had previously indicated that her comment about the Prophet Muhammad was in response to the “constant insult and disrespect” of a Hindu deity during a televised debate, but she withdrew her statement.
