DSP Noor Mustafa of Dumka has been suspended following allegations of negligence and helping the accused Shahrukh Hussain in weakening the case. 19 year old schoolgirl Ankita was set on fire by Shahrukh after she repeatedly rejected his advances. Shahrukh used to stalk her and as per Ankita’s father had asked her to convert to Islam and marry him.
At the time the country erupted in anger over the horrifying incident the chief minister of state, Hemant Soren, was out on a picnic with his colleague MLAs. The visuals during Shahrukh’s arrest also show how he was smiling as if he knew he would get away with it.
The local DSP Noor Mustafa has been accused of trying to save Shahrukh. Former Jharkhand CM Babulal Marandi shared some documents stating that DSP Mustafa has not only been anti-tribals but also had a communal trait to him.
Ex-CM Marandi said that one Zulfikar, who exploited tribals, was booked under the SC/ST Act and was sent to jail. Noor Mustafa allegedly did not file chargesheet for 90 days. In the documents shared by Marandi, this information is given along with the signature of the judge. On basis of these documents, Zulfikar got the bail. As per Marandi, DSP Noor Mustafa filed the chargesheet some time after Zulfikar got out of the jail.
As per reports, DSP Noor Mustafa has been suspended.
Meanwhile, former Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das has raised concerns about change in demography in Jharkhand. He said that what happened to Ankita has happened to thousands of girls and women in Jharkhand.
Das said that what happened to Ankita is not a normal incident and is a part of larger conspiracy where people of one community are trying to forcefully convert people of other faith to Islam and thereby change demography. He also talked about illegal encroachment of land by Islamists and said that illegal Bangladeshi immigrants have taken over about 10,000 acre land. He also demanded formation of SIT and fasttrack the case.
