Last month, Ali Akbar had announced that he has lost faith in Islam, as he was upset at a section of social media users who posted emoticons in jubilation over the tragic death of Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat and his wife in a helicopter crash.
In a video posted on social media on December 11, he had announced: “I am not a Muslim from today onwards. I am an Indian.”
