Claim: Image of a public notice issued by the Rajasthan government regarding new legislation aimed to safeguard mosques and other Islamic properties within the state.
Fact-check: This purported public notice about government announcing new regulations for the protection of Mosques and Madarsas is fake - FACTLY
Verdict: no such public notice announcing amendments to the ipc section 427 was issued by either the central government or the state government of rajasthan. section 427 of the indian penal code specifies a maximum penalty of two years of imprisonment, or fine, or both, for engaging in mischief and causing damage to the amount of fifty or upwards. it has nothing to do with mosques, temples and churches. 'the prevention of damage to public property act, 1984' contains provisions for punishment for causing damage to any public property under the central government or any of the state governments. the rajasthan police through a tweet confirmed that the viral public notice was fake. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
Organisation: FACTLY
