AFTER the Uttar Pradesh government's move to push Muslim restaurateurs to stop using Hindu names on their establishments, a new controversy has erupted over the wedding bands run by Muslims but named after Hindu gods and goddesses in Moradabad.

According to sources, Shaby Sharma, a lawyer, registered a complaint on the chief minister's portal on July 9 claiming that 15 to 20 Muslim band operators in the district were running their businesses under the names of Hindu deities.

Taking note of the complaint, the district police swung into action. Moradabad SP (City) Kumar Ranvijay Singh summoned several band operators, most of them Muslims, and instructed them to not name their bands after Hindu deities. The band owners agreed, police said on Thursday.
