Delhi: Acid Factory inside a shop called ‘Deepak Band’ run by one Feroz Khan suspected of supplying acid during the riots

An acid factory was discovered in Shiv Vihar by Republic News Network from where it is speculated that acid was supplied to the riot-hit areas during the anti-Hindu Delhi Riots. The said factory is located in a residential area, right next to a school. The acid factory was inside a shop that had ‘Deepak Band’ written in front of it but the business of supplying chemicals and acid was run by one Feroz Khan, a resident of Yamuna Vihar in Delhi.

A former worker at the factory told Republic that chemicals were supplied to areas such as Mustafabad, Chand Bagh, Karawal Nagar, Yamuna Vihar among others. All these areas were witnessed great violence during the riots. Shockingly enough, Feroz Khan’s father Naeem Khan is said to be a Policeman. The acid was stored in large containers with ‘Gangajal’ written over them. Feroz Khan has allegedly been absconding since then but had visited the factory even after the riots. In the video, a large number of plastic storage tanks can be seen, from several 5000-litre tanks to smaller ones. Almost all of them are labelled with ‘Gangajal’, perhaps alluding to the Hindi movie with the same name where acid is called Gangajal.

“There is a plate of Delhi Police hung outside. He threatens everyone that he is from Police. Feroz Khan threatens whoever comes from MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) to inspect; Feroz Khan threatens them saying that his father is from Delhi Police and has contacts with high profile people,” one local resident said.

Residents of the area had told OpIndia that Muslim women were attacking the Police forces with acid. Petrol bombs and stones were also hurled at Hindus by violent Muslim mobs. We found that the Muslim establishments were unharmed and secure, while the Hindu shops were blown into smithereens. When we asked about the glaring incongruency to a person who was serving tea and snacks to the security forces deployed in the region, he said that the attack had emanated from the same Muslim houses.

Radical Islamist organisation PFI comes in defence of Delhi riots accused Tahir Hussain, plays the usual victim card

On Saturday, the radical Islamist organisation, the Popular Front of India (PFI) came out in support of the AAP leader Tahir Hussain and claimed that he had been a victim of “vicious politics”. The PFI has squarely blamed the Centre for the violence in Delhi and also hit out at the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for suspending Tahir Hussain.

The role of Aam Aadmi Party leader Tahir Hussain in the brutal murder of Intelligence Bureau (IB) employee Ankit Sharma and also inciting riots in the Delhi has now been under scanner.

Eyewitness accounts have revealed that Ankit Sharma was lynched to death by a Muslim mob. Journalist Rahul Pandita managed to get hold of multiple eyewitnesses who saw the young officer being dragged inside Tahir Hussain’s house by an enraged mob before his dead body was found lying in a drain.

The unruly Muslim mob perched on the top of Hussain’s building wildly flung bricks and petrol bombs at the opposite street, in order to attack a Shiv temple located there. A building adjoining to the temple was burnt down by the rampaging mob. The incessant attack on the temple structure had rendered the entire edifice rickety and tottering, on the verge of collapse. Following the riots, media teams that had visited Tahir Hussain’s house had found stones and bricks, petrol bombs, acid packs etc lying on the roof.

Now, another horrific tale of the Muslim brutality inflicted upon the Hindus from Tahir Hussain’s bungalow has come to the fore. Muslims who lived for years intertwined with Hindu families in Moonga Nagar suddenly started baying for their blood. In one such incident, Muslim residents of the region did not even spare a wedding house whose Hindu women used to address neighbourhood Muslim men as “Bhaijaan” and greet them with a “salam”.

Tahir Hussain has gone missing soon after the FIR was registered against him for his direct involvement in the murder of Ankit Sharma, on the complaint of Ankit’s family. The Delhi police had filed a case against the AAP leader under Section 302(a) Murder, in the Dayalpur police station of Delhi.

Nevertheless, the usual suspects came to his defence to absolve him of any wrongdoing. AAP social media head Ankit Lal shared a video wherein Tahir Hussain claimed that he was rescued by the cops after his house came under seize on February 24. Netizens were quick to point out a February 25 video wherein he was seen wearing the same dress and holding a stick in hand. ‘Eminent intellectual’ Javed Akhtar concluded that the religious identity of Tahir Hussain might have been a factor in the police crackdown against him.

Earlier, a report of UP State Intelligence has revealed the role of Bhim Army and PFI in orchestrating simultaneous violence in Aligarh and Delhi.

Sonia Gandhi’s love for son Rahul Gandhi may be the thorn in daughter Priyanka’s Rajya Sabha journey

In a decision which could create few more tremors in an already devastated party – Congress, Sonia Gandhi is unlikely to accept her daughter and AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s bid to get elected to Rajya Sabha. This move may threaten her son Rahul Gandhi’s political ambitions, reports Sunday Guardian.

Sonia Gandhi, the interim president of the party, reportedly has strong reservations regarding her daughter and AICC general secretary, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s entry into the Rajya Sabha.

The election process for the Rajya Sabha is slated to commence next week and on its present strength, the Congress can readily obtain at least 10 seats from various states. However, it is almost certain that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will not be making her Parliamentary debut. Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi has already left the country clearing the final list which does not mention her daughter.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath had offered Priyanka a safe berth to the Upper House out of the two seats that the Congress can comfortably win from the state. However, Sonia Gandhi was not too enthusiastic about the proposal.

Reportedly, Sonia Gandhi believes that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s entry into Parliament will undermine Rahul Gandhi’s overall position as most Congress leaders would prefer her over her brother in terms of leading the party. Citing sources, Sunday Guardian reported that during the past two days, Sonia and Priyanka had a detailed discussion on the subject, and Sonia Gandhi has categorically denied any chance to Priyanka Vadra to surpass her brother by getting elected to Rajya Sabha.

Reportedly, Priyanka Vadra has made a strong appeal to her mother to reconsider her decision. She informed her that she was being made a sacrificial goat by assigning her the toughest state of Uttar Pradesh, where the outcome in 2022 Assembly polls was hardly expected to tilt in the favour of the Congress and urged that she should at least be made a member of the Rajya Sabha.

According to Priyanka Gandhi, her election to Rajya Sabha would also ensure that she will have an official accommodation in the capital. Currently, she continues to live in the Lodhi Road government accommodation despite removal of SPG cover. To make her case stronger, she has reportedly talked to senior Congress leaders to put in a good word for herself to her mother. However, these leaders are reluctant to speak up as Sonia may see it as interference and an attempt to divide the family.

Other than Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, there are various other Congress leaders who are top contenders for the Rajya Sabha seat. Many among these are also the ones who lost last 2019 Lok Sabha polls, like Digvijaya Singh, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Randeep Surjewala amongst others. Meanwhile, 92-year-old Motilal Vohra, the senior-most living and active Congress leader, is also hopeful of getting another term from Chhattisgarh.

Delhi anti-Hindu riots: Netizens question why Barkha Dutt hasn’t yet visited the families of deceased cop Ratan Lal and slaim IB constable Ankit Sharma

Controversial journalist Barkha Dutt has been reporting on the anti-Hindu Delhi riots that have ravaged the lives of people in national capital. Unfortunately enough, her coverage appears to be biased against the Hindu community and appears to go out of its way to preach ‘Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb’ instead of focusing on facts on the ground.

Barkha Dutt’s tweet about Faizan

Barkha Dutt appears to have focused primarily on Muslim victims of the riots and has thus far predominantly ignored the Hindu victims of the said riots, thereby giving people the impression that it was an ‘anti-Muslim pogrom’ despite the fact that it was not.

Barkha Dutt’s tweet

Given Barkha Dutt’s past record, netizens began to question her why hadn’t she yet visited the families of Ratan Lal, a head constable of Delhi Police who lost his life, and Ankit Sharma, the slain Intelligence Bureau official.


Some even pointed it out to her the brutality with which IB official Ankit Sharma was killed.


Others accused her of propagandizing the riots.


People also asked her to cover the tragic murder of Ankit Sharma if she found the time. Ankit Sharma was murdered brutally with over 400 stab wounds on his body. Forensic doctors said that they hadn’t ever seen a body mutilated this badly.


Despite the requests from people on social media, Barkha Dutt hasn’t yet covered the murders of Ratan Lal and Ankit Sharma or the plight of their families. There has been a dedicated effort to whitewash the crimes of the Muslim mobs and paint the communal riots as an ‘anti-Muslim pogrom’ while ignoring the massive damage to Hindu property and the terrible loss of Hindu lives.

Hindu victims have revealed that their shops were burnt down because they had Hindu imagery and they have also said that the frenzied Muslim mob had resorted to such an extent of violence that she had to throw her kids from the terrace as their neighbours stood below to catch the children. However, their plight hasn’t been covered by the mainstream media.

After Ravish Kumar changed Mohammad Shahrukh to Anurag Mishra, the Hindu man has started receiving threats

Days after controversial ‘journalist’ Ravish Kumar spread misinformation stating that the February 24 shooter who fired at Delhi Police personnel was not Mohammad Shahrukh but a Hindu man named ‘Anurag Mishra’, the victim of the Ravish’s fake campaign – Anurag Mishra has been receiving a lot of threats.

According to the reports, Anurag Mishra, who was wrongly attributed to be the shooter by NDTV’s Ravish Kumar in place of the accused Shahrukh, has been facing a lot of threats ever since ‘journalist’ revealed his identity.

Anurag Mishra, who currently resides in Varanasi, has now sought protection from the police after receiving a series of life threats following Ravish Kumar’s conspiracy to blame a Hindu for a crime of a Muslim. Mishra claimed that after his identity was revealed by the NDTV journalist, people mistook him for rioter Shahrukh and started abusing him.

Anurag, who originally hails from Dadar-Nagar Haveli, has visited Delhi only once in his entire life. Anurag said that most of his time is spent in Mumbai due to his involvement with acting. However, he said he is now scared of the threats he has been receiving. He added that his family is also frightened.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Singh, SP of Varanasi said that they have received Anurag Mishra’s complaint and investigation have begun. Based on this, further action will be taken, he added.

On February 26, Ravish Kumar in his show falsely identified Mohammad Shahrukh, the shooter who had shot 8 bullets in the air during the anti-Hindu riots, as a Hindu named ‘Anurag Mishra’. By indulging in false propaganda, Ravish Kumar had claimed that police had said the shooter’s name was Shahrukh but if someone had seen on social media, the shooter was called Anurag Mishra, Ravish had said.

The absolving of crimes by NDTV’s Ravish Kumar, especially crimes in which Muslims are perpetrators was not surprising anyway but Ravish Kumar went a step ahead to claim that shooter was a Hindu “Anurag Mishra”.

The fake news factory NDTV has time and again attempted to shield the Muslim mobs by whitewashing their crimes and rather tried to pin the blame on the Hindus for the anti-Hindu riots in the national capital.

Just yesterday, the left-wing channel NDTV was caught pants down for whitewashing crimes committed by Muslims by cropping images of mosques which had strategically stored stones to attack Hindus during the anti-Hindu riots in Delhi.

On Thursday, the Delhi police released visuals from the riot-hit parts of northeast Delhi which were earlier captured in drone cameras during the anti-Hindu riots. The drone cameras were pressed into service by the police in the violence-affected neighbourhoods of east Delhi.

However, NDTV had resorted to cropping images of the mosque to mislead the people on the real nature of the anti-Hindu riots and tried to hide the images where it can be clearly seen that the local mosques had stored stones to attack the Hindus during the communal riots.

Apart from these false propagandas, the NDTV has been at the forefront of spreading false propaganda concerning the anti-Hindu riots in Delhi, that has caused the death of more than 40 people. The anti-CAA riots which turned communal resulted in Muslim mobs unleashing violence against Hindus, killing lives and damaging properties.

Assam: Physics lecturer arrested in Silchar after students file complaint for his derogatory comments against PM Modi and Hinduism on Facebook

A Guest Lecturer, Souradeep Sengupta, at the Gurucharan College in Silchar, Assam, was arrested on Friday for making disparaging comments on Facebook against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Hindusim in the context of the Delhi riots.

A case (No 722/2020) against Sengupta was registered at Sadar Police Station in Silchar under sections 295(A), 153(A), 507 of the IPC and 66 of the IT Act. The FIR was filed by some students of the College who found the remarks objectionable. They said that Sengupta was trying to incite communal violence.

He was produced before a Silchar Court on Saturday and has been sent to judicial custody until Monday. His bail application has also been listed for hearing on Monday.

In a Facebook post, the Physics Lecturer wrote, “The BJP and the RSS are trying to recreate Godhra in Delhi right now. People on the streets are getting their IDs checked to see if they are Muslim – if they are, they are getting beaten mercilessly.”

He claimed, “Hindu houses are being marked with saffron flags while Muslim houses and mosques are being petrol bombed. All while these terrorists shout Jai Shree Ram. Sanatan Dharma my foot.”

Sengupta alleged, “We elected a mass murder twice as PM – this is what we get. Everyone who voted for the BJP should know they sold the country off for a few bucks.”

Complained file by students with police against Souradeep Sengupta

In the complained filed with the police, the students wrote that Sengupta made derogatory remarks and abused the Sanatan Dharma as a whole. He has tried to incite communal violence by making inflammatory comments against the Hindu community in the context of Delhi violence, they have written. “We believe that any such hate monger should be punished under the Indian laws and therefore we urge to take stern action against the said person”, the complained states.

 

Memorandum of students demanding the termination of Souradeep Sengupta

Apart from the FIR with police, the students have also submitted a memorandum to the Principal of Gurucharan College demanding immediate termination of Sengupta. The memorandum states the professor has hurt the sentiments of people and abused the elected prime minister of India by addressing him as ‘mass murderer’. Students allege that Souradeep Sengupta has made a desperate attempt to create social unrest and communal riot in otherwise peaceful Barak Valley (of Assam). The students also have written that as a guest lecturer of the college, he has influenced many students by applying his ‘destructive ideology’ in his teaching, and he will continue to do so if he is allowed to continue in the post.

The Guest Lecturer later apologised for his “irresponsible comments about a communally sensitive issue.” He claimed it to be a “lapse of judgement.”

 

In January this year, two men, Anwar and Niyaz, have been arrested on Tuesday for issuing death threats to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the implementation of CAA and NRC. A Congress politician and a rabid activist Nellai Kannan was also booked for calling for the assassination of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

Delhi: BJP leader Kapil Mishra gets death threats following anti-Hindu riots, AAP leader wishes death upon him

BJP leader Kapil Mishra today took to Twitter to share the death threats he has been receiving in wake of anti-Hindu riots in Delhi that perpetrated in last week of February 2020.


In one of the screenshots, one Mohammad Amanatullah sent him a threat that no one can save him from his impending doom. One more sent him messages on WhatsApp which read ‘Many will kill you’ in all capitals. Another WhatsApp message showed someone telling him that he wants to kill him.

These threats to Mishra come a day after AAP social media member Sanjay Raghav wished death upon Mishra.

In a now deleted tweet, AAP’s social media member, Sanjay Raghav had shared images of Kapil Mishra with his wife and juxtaposed it with the image of a child crying over the corpse of his uncle, a man named Mudassir Khan and said that he wished that both these images should become similar some day. After his tweet went viral, Raghav deleted it and said his tweet was being ‘misconstrued’. He, however, did not apologise for wishing death on Mishra.

After the anti-Hindu riots broke out in Delhi, the ‘liberals’ had rushed to pin the blame of mob violence on BJP leader Kapil Mishra. It is being claimed that his speech instigated the riots at the national capital.

“Yeh to hota rehta hai” Delhi anti-Hindu riots victim reveals how AAP MLA Haji Yunus shrugged off killing of Hindu children

The series of anti-Hindus riots that rocked the national capital in the North East Delhi has resulted in severe losses to life, properties belonging to residents of Delhi, especially the Hindus.

Know the Nation, a Digital media outlet, which has been at the forefront of publishing on ground reports during the anti-Hindu riots in Delhi, has put out a series of videos which has now unveiled the scale of violence that Hindu community was subjected to during the mob violence unleashed by the Muslim mobs in the national capital since February 23.

These videos which have now gone viral, expose the claims of ‘liberal-secular’ media who not only whitewashed the crimes committed by Muslim mobs during the entire anti-CAA violence but also held Hindu communities responsible for the crimes perpetrated by Muslims.

A victim at the Jaffrabad area, one of the most affected localities during the anti-Hindu riots, spoke to the outlet and shared the horror that was inflicted upon Hindu communities by the Muslim mobs. The victim said that the Muslims were checking the identity card of Hindus, who then allowed only Hindus to go and others were attacked.

“Today we are safe and alive only and only because of Delhi police,” said the Hindu victim, a resident of Brijpuri.


Another lady revealed that the frenzied Muslim mob had resorted to such an extent of violence that she had to throw her kids from the terrace as their neighbours stood below to catch the children. “They pelted stones, petrol bombs. We jumped to save our lives. Our house was set on fire. We nearly escaped choking to death,” she added.


“My shop was burnt down because it had Lord Krishna’s image on it and the name ‘Gopal’ inscribed on it,” said a Hindu shop owner in Yamuna Vihar whose shop was burnt down by Muslim mobs.


Another victim who was inside a hospital sharing her ordeal stated that ‘Muslim brothers’ started throwing stones at them. “After a nursing home filled with patients was attacked in Bhajanpura, the next day a Muslim man posing as ‘Bunty’ was caught by locals carrying a gun. Locals are living in fear,” she added.


Most of the resident Hindus accused AAP leader Mustafabad MLA Haji Yunus of leading the anti-Hindu riots, who not only incited the Muslim mobs to attack the Hindus but also led the mob attack on Hindus.

A victim alleged that Haji Yunus took charge of the violence, which resulted in worsening of violence against the Hindus. “A Muslim’s showroom was cleared ahead of the riots and some men came and burnt it to frame us. They climbed atop the nearby mosque & desecrated the school,” he added.


Another victim also blamed AAP leader Haji Yunus for the riots in Delhi. According to him, Haji Yunus said that the killing of Hindu children was a common act. “Ye toh hota rehta hai” said AAP’s Haji Yunus and Sher Mohammad to Hindus in Brijpuri area when they started questioning the killings of children. Many were injured by stone pelters that came from a Muslim neighbourhood across a drain, said another victim.


A victim said that the Hindus are forced to send the daughters and women of the families to the relative’s house for safety. Blaming AAP leader Haji Mohd Yunus for violence, a lady accused him of sending these rioters after them. “Cheen ke lenge aazaadi! Modi Murdabad” slogans were raised, said the victims who shared the horrors of the Delhi riots.


A Brijpuri teacher described the horrors perpetuated by the violent mob in a school. Books set on fire, records and laptops stolen and stone-pelting are just some of the things the victims had to face from anti-Hindu rioting mob.


The parents of Rahul Singh who was shot dead by the Muslim mobs shared their grief with the media. The father of Singh said his son was killed by the mob of rioters who shot him right on his chest. What was Rahul’s fault? asked his father who is yet to come out of the shock of his son’s death.


A local from Bramhpuri said that the rioting mob opened fire at Hindus before proceeding to desecrate a temple.


The anti-CAA riots turned communal in Delhi resulting in severe violence on the streets of  Delhi. The anti-Hindu riots that engulfed the streets of Delhi have resulted in deaths of around 40 persons and more than 220 people sustained injuries in the violence that started on Sunday.

The injured include around 70 persons from the security forces. 48 FIRs had been filed and 514 suspects had also been rounded up by the police. The cops have set up 2 SITs for investigating serious cases of offence that took place during the riots.
