The Mumbai Police has summoned suspended BJP leader and spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her alleged remarks on Prophet Muhammad. Sharma has been asked to appear before the Pydhonie police station on June 16. 

An FIR was filed against Sharma last month, following a complaint filed by the joint secretary of Raza Academy. A controversy erupted after Sharma made derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammed during a news channel debate. Raza Academy had rushed to Pydhonie Police and registered an FIR against her.
