An Islamist mob attacked a Sikh man named Jeevandeep Singh in the
Bilaspur area of Chhattisgarh earlier this month, reported Organiser. According to the perpetrators, the reason for the attack was that he had entered Muslim-dominated Talapara, an area referred to by the residents as “Mini Pakistan” and was wearing a tulsi mala. Jeevandeep, who somehow managed to avoid death, has been living in constant danger ever since he made a complaint.
The culprits, who were eventually identified as Raja Khan, Nafees, and two more individuals were first placed under arrest and were then released on warning but they persisted in their threats against Jeevandeep and his family. The Chhattisgarh police then apprehended them again.
The culprits are in police custody. Bilaspur about three years ago to explore business prospects in finance, left his hometown of Bhilai city in the Durg region of Chhattisgarh and is staying apart from his family. He has two daughters, the youngest of whom was born less than a month ago. They live in a humble place in the Urja Vihar colony of the Chakar Bhata area. Riteshwari Satnami, Jeevandeep’s wife revealed that lack of sleep following the incident had caused him to have a seizure earlier in the morning of 12th May and had a serious negative effect on his mental health.
He was in a comatose state as the powerful medication took its toll on him. Riteshwari clarified that he had been experiencing a lack of appetite and sleep deprivation for the preceding three days, which had been made worse by the morning seizure. She eventually succeeded in waking him up after thirty minutes after which he narrated the horrifying ordeal. He recounted that he had thrown a small party for friends and family on 6th May on the occasion of his daughter’s birthday. He dropped off a friend named Arif and his mother at Talapara Square at around 12:30 in the morning. He came upon an Innova parked in the square, from which people he recognized as Raja Khan, Nafees and others emerged, cursing him over his vehicle’s headlights.
