Pune: The crackdown in the case of hate crime continues. Pune Police has arrested 252 people in cases related to the violence that followed inflammatory messages posted on the social media. So far 73 cases have been filed. 
 
Police is still on the look out for 4 more people involved in the murder of the 24-year-old IT professional. They are making a catalogue of all Hindu Raksha Sena members in the city. 
 
The software professional Shaikh Mohasin Sadiq, who hailed from Solapur and was a resident of Hadapsar, was bludgeoned to death on Monday sparking off tensions in the area. Police is on the lookout for the remaining accused who have been identified. 
 
The trigger for the attack was apparently uploading of derogatory pictures of warrior king Shivaji and late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on Facebook, which led to a protest bandh on Sunday. 
 
Sadiq worked in the IT department of a textile firm in the city. He was thrashed with sticks at Bankar Colony by the accused and succumbed to his injuries during treatment at a nearby hospital, police said. Two other youths, too, had been attacked and injured in stone throwing at the same spot on the same night. 
 
Police said the case was handed over to Crime Branch and they have appealed to citizens not to believe or spread rumours as the situation is peaceful.
