In the aftermath of the September riots, several Muslim
families had taken a refuge at Hussainpur village. While Mohammadpur Raisingh
village has Jat dominance, Hussainpur village has a Muslim population.
Mohammadpur Raisingh village comes
under the jurisdictions of Baurakalan police station and Hussainpur village
comes under the jurisdictions of Budhana police station. Many angry locals, on
Wednesday evening, encircled the Budhana police station as the news of the
killings spread across.
The police tried to control the
situation till late in the night. On the other hand, five companies of
Provincial Armed forces and policemen from the adjoining districts were rushed
to the places to control the situation and ensure piece.
The families sheltered in Hussainpur
wanted to return to their village for which a peace committee was formed. A villager
Rajendra Fauzi was attacked when he went to water his field. He somehow managed
to escape, returned the village and informed the other villagers about it. The
angry villagers then went on to look for those responsible for the attack when
clashes took place in which three boys were killed.
“Strong action is being initiated against
those spoiling the atmosphere of Muzaffarnagar,” assured Uttar Pradesh’s CM
Akhilesh Yadav. He added that Samajwadi Party won’t compromise with communal forces.
BJP president Rajnath Singh appealed
the people to maintain peace and calm. Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde told
that they were keeping a watch on the situation and that reports were being
sought from Uttar Pradesh.
