Aligarh violence: As anti-CAA rioters tried to enter Hindu homes, police issues prohibitory notices to 4000 people ahead of Friday Namaz

Following the violence carried out on Sunday (February 23), an alert Aligarh police had issued prohibitory notices to 4000 people, including 2000 ‘anti-social elements’ and remaining under section 107/116 of the CrPC on Thursday. The cops had warned the said people of severe action if tensions arose in the city.

The order had been issued keeping the Friday prayers in mind that had played a pivotal role in fuelling riots under the pretext of Anti-CAA protests in the past. On Wednesday, an arrest warrant had been issued against 100 odd people for raising pro-Pakistan slogans by the Aligarh City Magistrate Court.

Not only that, 150 people had been issued notices for violating the peace in the city. 50 people had also been booked under the Goonda Act.

Moreover, 100 arms license holders had been cautioned to refrain from participating in Anti-CAA agitation held in Shahjamal, Jamalpur and Jeevangarh. They had been threatened with cancellation of licences if they are seen at the protest sites. In anticipation of violence, mobile internet services have also been suspended.

The cops are on high alert to prevent any untoward situation and thus have intensified the patrolling on Highways. Several business establishments had remained closed ever since Sunday.

Aligarh SSP, Muniraj G informed, “Additional police force including nine companies of PAC and four companies of RAF along with 3 additional SPs, 8 deputy SPs and 8 station house officers (SHO) of neighbouring districts have already been deployed in the city as a precautionary measure.”

Explaining the preparedness, Muniraj added that non-lethal weapons such as tear gas and anti-riot guns had been distributed at various police stations. The cops had reportedly identified 8 sensitive zones and have spoken to community leaders in an effort to pacify the situation ahead of Friday prayers. ADG Agra zone Ajay Anand has appealed to people to inform the police about any miscreant distributing provocative or inflammatory posters and banners.

On February 23, riots had broken out in several areas after Muslim mobs clashed with police at Upar Court and other areas in the name of protests. The mob had entered several Hindu homes and had indulged in arson and vandalism. As per some reports, Hindus in the violent hit areas have been scared and some homes even have put up ‘for sale’ posters.

On Monday, several areas in Aligarh witnessed violence and attacks on 3 Hindu temples by violent Muslim mobs. They jammed roads, and halted traffic and attacked commuters and shopkeepers in the area too. According to UP State Intelligence, a nexus between radical Islamist organisation Popular Front of India (PFI) and Bhim Army, a self-proclaimed Ambedkarite organisation had been responsible behind orchestrating the violence.

Delhi Anti-Hindu riots: NDTV edits out visuals of a Mosque with huge pile of stones from drone footage, shows only ‘secular’ rooftops

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. ANI had shared one such video with drone footage obtained from Delhi police.


In one such video, it can be seen that heaps of stones stored on the terrace of a mosque in the riot-hit area. Not only mosques but large heaps of stones were stored on the terraces of various residences, which can be clearly seen in the video indicating that the Muslim mobs had meticulously planned for the anti-Hindu riots by strategically placing arms and ammunitions to unleash violence against the Hindus.

It is pertinent to note that similar stones and petrol bombs were also found on the rooftop of AAP leader Tahir Hussain’s house. Tahir Hussain is now accused of murdering IB employee Ankit Sharma and also instigating anti-Hindu riots in Delhi.

At 1:10 minute into the video, it can be seen that a large heap of stones are seen gathered on a rooftop in the video at the bottom-right corner of the screen. The building with stones can be identified as mosques as minarets are clearly visible.

However, left-wing portal NDTV – which has a history of absolving even Islamic terrorists from their crimes, on Thursday resorted to rescue Muslim mobs by watering down the crime by carefully editing the mosque out of the drone video.

In a report titled, ‘Drones Monitoring Situation In Violence-Hit Delhi Areas’, NDTV cropped images of the mosque to mislead the readers 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. As pointed out by Twitter user @iMac_too, the featured image of the report was credited to ANI, but the Mosque was missing.

NDTV report with the cropped image.

Interestingly, NDTV cannot even claim that they just chose a different frame for their screengrab. The ANI video showed only one frame of the particular footage where a Mosque, a lane of buildings, two roads and a small group of policemen are visible. However, NDTV’s featured image of the report has taken special care of editing out the Mosque that had stones piled up on its rooftop.

NDTV has a curious habit of whitewashing Islamic crimes. Just recently, the controversial Congress-era channel was caught red-handed spreading fake news to not only absolve an accused Shahrukh for his crimes but had instead falsely referred to him as Hindu to peddle their anti-Hindu agenda. Shahrukh caught on camera firing bullets at a police officer during the anti-CAA riots.

I have been ruined, have never seen such brutality in my life: Shyam ‘Chaiwala’ recounts his horror to OpIndia

It was the fourth day after the brutal, violent anti-Hindu riots that have engulfed Delhi, and have uprooted the lives of thousands of people living in these areas.

The first thing we saw upon entering the riot-hit areas of Chand Bagh is a ruined, gutted shop. Oranges were scattered all over the place. Media persons were busy filming the oranges. It was the first image, but we moved on, we wanted to witness the characters who suffered in this brutality.

Passing cordons of security personnel, we entered Karawal Nagar, the area where AAP councillor Tahir Hussain’s house is located, the man who was allegedly behind the murder of IB officer Ankit Sharma. The big house was surrounded by police and media personnel. We moved on. In the lane just opposite to Hussain’s house, behind a closed gate, we saw faces, over two dozen faces that were watching the march of the security forces with scared, wary eyes. No media person had turned towards this part yet.

We approached those people. We asked them are they just scared or are they the victims of these riots too. Then the floodgates opened, stories of horror and brutality started flowing. We wanted to know the stories that could not make it to media coverage in these four days. Then we met a man who could not control his emotions upon seeing us. It was Shyam Sahni, the ‘Chaiwala’ in these areas who was running the tiny ‘Syam Tea Stall’ for many years. Not anymore.

Shyam Sahni was sitting bewildered on the floor, with his wife and son. Upon asking he told us his story.

I was in my shop making tea on Monday. From the morning, the Muslims in the area were protesting against the CAA. Then I heard that a large mob, with thousands of Muslims, is proceeding towards this area, smashing shops and moving from Changbagh towards Karawal Nagar. We quickly pulled the shutter and escaped through the back door. But the mob did not spare my shop. They brought a sewing machine and broke the shutter with it. They first looted the shop, then ransacked it, broke everything that they could not take. Then a petrol bomb came from Tahir Hussain’s rooftop and bured my shop.

Shyam further told us that he watched this horror unfold hiding in a bylane, but he could not do anything. Then he heard that a large Muslim mob has attacked the houses of Hindus in Yamuna Vihar area. Since Shyam’s house was located in that area, he ran fearing for the lives of his wife and children. He reached his home and told his wife to take their four children and leave, away from the Muslim-majority locality and to the house of a family friend in another lane.

Shyam narrates that they were so scared that they spent the rest of the day and night holed up in a corner, hungry and thirsty. When police forces came the next morning, Shyam mustered the courage to come out and go towards his shop. When he reached and saw what had become of his shop, the means of livelihood, he broke down.

Neighbours told us that since that day, Shyam has neither changed nor have eaten a morsel of food. “I am ruined. I have no idea where to go or what to do.” He says that overall, he lost over 5 lakh rupees.

Shyam had come to Delhi in search of livelihood over 20 years ago. He is from Vaishali, Bihar. His family consists of his wife and four children. Shyam’s four children, Neeraj, Dhheraj, Sunny, and Roshan have been living under fear for the last few days.

A day after FIR registered in Delhi Anti-Hindu riots, murder accused AAP leader Tahir Hussain goes missing: Report

A day after Delhi police registered a case against Aam Aadmi Party leader Tahir Hussain for his involvement in the murder of IB employee Ankit Sharma and for instigating anti-Hindu riots in Delhi, the controversial AAP corporator is now absconding fearing action by the Delhi police.

On Thursday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had suspended Councillor Tahir Hussain from the primary membership of the party after he was named in a murder FIR. However, controversial AAP leader Amanatullah Khan, who himself is an accused of instigating riots in Delhi, had jumped into the rescue of murder accused Tahir Hussain by not only calling him ‘innocent’ but also put the blame on the BJP claiming that the saffron party was doing this to malign AAP.

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.

The dead body of an Intelligence Bureau constable was recovered from a drain in North East Delhi amidst anti-Hindu riots in the national capital. Ankit Sharma, who lived in Chand Bagh, was returning home on Tuesday evening when he was allegedly attacked by a violent mob on the Chand Bagh bridge and beaten to death. The Muslim mob had thrown his body into a drain.

The family of the deceased Ankit Sharma had accused AAP leader Tahir Hussain and his Muslim mob of dragging their son and brutally murdering him.

A day after Sharma’s family alleged his role in the riots and his murder, many crates of petrol bombs and stones have been found on the rooftop of the AAP leader.

Addition to that, in the anti-Hindu riots that erupted in North East Delhi earlier this week, AAP leader Tahir Hussain has emerged as one of the main kingpins. Videos have emerged which show hundreds of people throwing stones, petrol bombs from the roof of his building. Other videos show Tahir Hussain himself supervising the stone and petrol bomb pelting from his building, with a lathi in his hand.

Delhi Anti-Hindu riots: Minutes after AAP suspends murder accused Tahir Hussain, Amanatullah Khan gives him clean chit

As Delhi police registered a complaint against AAP leader Tahir Hussain in connection with instigating anti-Hindu riots in Delhi and murdering IB officer Ankit Sharma, Amanatullah Khan – a prominent Muslims leader of Aam Aadmi Party who has been at the forefront of instigating Muslims, has given the murder accused Tahir Hussain a clean chit and called him an ‘innocent’.

On Thursday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had suspended Councillor Tahir Hussain from the primary membership of the party after he was named in a murder FIR under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for his involvement in Ankit Sharma’s murder.

Following the startling revelation over AAP leader’s direct involvement in the anti-Hindu riots, the AAP party had decided to suspended Councillor Tahir Hussain from the primary membership of the party, pending the police investigation in his suspected role in the Delhi Violence in which 38 people have died as per the latest count.

However, controversial AAP leader Amanatullah Khan, who himself is an accused of instigating riots in Delhi, jumped into the rescue of murder accused Tahir Hussain by not only calling him ‘innocent’ but also put the blame on the BJP claiming that the saffron party was doing this to malign AAP.

Delhi anti-Hindu riots ground report: Islamist mob in Delhi’s Chand Bagh forcibly occupied a Shiv Mandir, hurled stones at Hindus from the roof

0

Hindu residents of Delhi’s Chand Bagh continue to share the horrific accounts of how their houses, shops and places of worship are being attacked, torched, vandalised by the frenzied Islamist fundamentalists who have converted the anti-CAA protest to anti-Hindu riots in the national capital.

Apart from claiming the lives of several Hindus, these frenzied Islamist goons have also vandalised and burned Hindu owned shops and many temples. One such Shiv Mandir in Delhi’s Chand Bagh area which OpIndia visited, was also a witness to these riots.


Local Hindus’ speaking to OpIndia said that a crowd of Muslims, mostly youths, approached through Mustafabad in Delhi. They all gathered on the bridge of Chand Bagh. From there, they reached Aam Aadmi Party councillor Tahir Hussain’s building. They went to the terrace, from where they started throwing stones and petrol bombs.

These locals also revealed to Opindia that the Muslim crowd captured a Shiv temple by climbing on to the roof of the temple, placing ladders at the back yard of the Shiva temple. Apart from forcibly occupying the temple, the Islamist goons also captured the surrounding Hindu houses.

The mob allegedly vandalised the temple, after which they climbed the roof of the Shiv Mandir and started pelting stones on the Hindus from there. On one side there was stone pelting from the roof of Tahir Hussain’s building, and on the other side, there was stone pelting from the temple, divulged the devastated Hindu’s of Chand Bagh.

It becomes imperative to note here that Tahir Hussain is the AAP leader from whose terrace, not just petrol bombs, but sacks full of brick pieces, stones, acid packs and even catapults to hurl the stones and petrol bombs were discovered.

Moreover, it has emerged that slain IB officer Ankit Sharma was dragged into Tahir Hussain’s house before his murder, and his body was found from a ditch behind Hussain’s house. In fact, the locals also revealed to OpIndia how IB officer Ankit Sharma was dragged into Tahir Hussain’s building by Islamists.

The locals also confirmed that sacks full of stones and bricks were being constantly supplied to the goons hiding in Tahir Hussain’s building. It was being transported through rickshaws and bikes to Tahir Hussain’s house and Muslim youths kept moving in and out of the building to collect the supplies.

This is not the only incident which has been reported. Islamist mobs have gone on a rampage in Delhi where the anti-Hindu riots have claimed several lives and given rise to horror stories in the process. After a Hindu told OpIndia how the Delhi anti-Hindu riots are creating a situation where a devout man has to hide every symbol that gave away his religion, another Hindu from Delhi’s Chand Bagh divulged how he saved himself from the frenzied Islamist mob by hiding his true identity. He says that he wore a “topi” and called himself “Imran” to keep safe from the Islamists who attacked him while he was returning from his work.

Delhi police file FIR against AAP corporator Tahir Hussain under IPC Section 302 for murder of IB officer Ankit Sharma

The Delhi police have filed FIR against Aam Aadmi party corporator Tahir Hussain under Section 302(a) Murder, in the Dayalpur police station of Delhi. The FIR was filed on the complaints of the family of deceased IB Officer Ankit Sharma, whose body was extracted from a drain behind Hussain’s house. The crime branch of the Delhi police will probe and take action in the murder case.


Ankit’s family alleged that Ankit was dragged into the house of Tahir Hussain and lynched to death by Islamist mobs. Reports state that Tahir Hussain’s house was being used by violent Islamist mob to pelt stones and hurl petrol bombs in the locality. Along with Ankit Hussain, three other persons were also dragged into his house, as alleged by locals.

In the riots that erupted in North East Delhi earlier this week, AAP leader Tahir Hussain has emerged as one of the main kingpins. Videos have emerged which show hundreds of people throwing stones, petrol bombs from the roof of his building. Other videos show Tahir Hussain himself supervising the stone and petrol bomb pelting from his building, with a lathi in his hand. When today media teams visited the building, it was found littered with stones, acid packs, petrol bombs made using cold drink bottles, catapults used to hurl stones and petrol bombs etc.


In another setback to AAP member, the Delhi Police sealed a factory belonging to Tahir Hussain. The factory is located in North-East Delhi’s Khajoori Khas area.

Delhi anti-Hindu riots ground report: Hindu shops were exclusively targeted, more than 3000 Islamists were in Tahir Hussain’s building

0

As Delhi remains on edge after three nights of continuous rioting, more and more proofs have emerged, making it sufficiently clear that these riots are nothing but a selective, well-coordinated and planned outrage against the Hindus by Islamist fundamentalists.

In order to learn more about the riots, OpIndia visited Delhi’s Chand Bagh area, which, like many other areas in the National Capital, has been burning as Islamists ran amok, resorting to stone-pelting, arson and vandalism, destroying public properties worth crores and hurting several police personnel and civilians in the ensuing mayhem.

While taking stock of the situation, OpIndia came across a furniture shop named ‘Arora Furniture’. This shop was left completely looted and burned in the fire. When OpIndia spoke to the local people in the area, it was learnt that the shop belonged to a Hindu. The shop owner said that the rampage was carried out by some Islamists. They set fire to all the floors of the ‘Arora Furniture’ building and also burnt some items kept there. Rest they looted and took away, said the owner.

A few locals said that there was also a Muslim shop in the same street, which was not damaged at all. According to them, the Muslim rioters read the signboards of the shops with the name of the shops before deciding which shop to burn and which to spare. While Hindu shops were ruined, ransacked and burned, the Muslim shops were left untouched, recounted the locals. Besides setting innumerable cars belonging to Hindus on fire, the Islamists also looted a shop named ‘Goyal Medical Store’, divulged the locals there.

This meant that these Muslim rioters had, in advance, gathered detailed information about the Hindu’s residing in Chand Bagh.

When asked about AAP councillor Tahir Hussain, the locals divulged that Hussain’s building which is built on a 1200-yard plot was occupied by more than 3000 Muslim rioters. The building is quite large, and it can accomodate a large numbder of people. People said that many people were seen visiting and leaving the premises for past few days, which meant that this anti-Hindu riot in Delhi was pre-planned.

It becomes imperative to note here that Tahir Hussain is the AAP leader from whose terrace, not just petrol bombs, but sacks full of brick pieces, stones, acid packs and even catapults to hurl the stones and petrol bombs were discovered.

Moreover, it has emerged that slain IB officer Ankit Sharma was dragged into Tahir Hussain’s house before his murder, and his body was found from a ditch behind Hussain’s house. In fact, the locals also revealed to OpIndia how IB officer Ankit Sharma was dragged into Tahir Hussain’s building by Islamists.

The locals divulged that when Ankit Sharma had learnt that Tahir’s goons had captured three people, he had approached those goons to request them to release the three. They said that Ankit’s mother kept wandering around looking for her son for a while. Later there was news of his death.

They further revealed how the IB officer was mercilessly hit with stones before being thrown into a drain after the brutal murder.

Locals revealed that there is a bridge in Chand Bagh which actually divides the area. On one side of the culvert, there are the Muslim dominated areas, while on the other side the Hindu’s dwell. This acts as a border, said the locals. Tahir Hussain’s house which is on the Muslim side of the area is built in such a way that the area around it is covered and all the people inside are safe.

The miffed Hindus in the area went to blame Delhi CM and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal for the riots. People said that Kejriwal never fails to make statements to remain in the headlines, but now that it is revealed that his councillor has been involved in fanning the anti-Hindu riots in Delhi, he has duct-taped his mouth.

Many people who had voted for the Aam Aadmi Party in the recent elections chided Kejriwal with derogatory slangs and wondered why he was not coming up with any statement condemning the selective violence against Hindus in Delhi.
