On July 8, a Muslim mob attacked a Baraat (wedding procession) of a Dalit man when it passed through the road in front of a mosque in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. The incident took place at around 3 pm on Friday in the Bhojahedi village of Muzaffarnagar’s Purquazi Block. As per reports, the Muslim mob was irked by the music played in the Baraat, so they attacked the Baaratis with sticks and batons. The Muslims claimed that the loud music was frightening their goats.
The police reached the spot after they received information about the ruckus, however, the accused had fled by then. CO Sadar Hemant Kumar and Purkaji Kotwali in charge, however, managed to detain one accused.
Members of the bride’s family then reached the police station and lodged a complaint against four known and several unknown people. Based on the complaint filed by Ram Babu, the Muzaffarnagar police registered an FIR against Aas Mohammad, Danish, Monish, Shabnam, Mukarram, Jambu, Pindu and Aakil under relevant sections of the IPC. Sections of the SC/ST Act have also been invoked against the accused. The police are currently probing the case.
Meanwhile, heavy police force has been deployed in the area to avoid any further escalation. Anyone who attempts to further spread communal discord in the village would not be spared, said Hemant Kumar, CO Sadar….
