Summary:
Former village pradhan Shakar Ali said, “It was just a small fight between kids with little communal overtones, but was made to look like a big communal clash in order to settle scores with minority families. “Minority groups had spread a rumour that Hindus had thrashed a Muslim. So NSA proceedings against him were logical.”Families of those jailed however rubbish police claims. Mohsin, brother of Shamsher said, “Police arrested Shamsher who had no role in what is being termed as a conspiracy. Abid was forced to change his statement and when he did not relent his name was also included in the FIR.”.
