RANCHI: In what could be termed a “blatant attempt” to incite communal tension in the state, and as if the burning, raping and hanging of minor girls was not enough, now a group of Muslim men are reported to have barged into a school brandishing firearms and threatened Hindu girls to fall to their friendship proposals.
The police came to know of this only on Saturday when the school convened a meeting of two communities to sort out the matter, but the two sides clashed and the police had to intervene to prevent a communal flare-up.
The police later booked five accused for creating ruckus and threatening school staff and students.
The police are conducting raids to arrest the five accused. Besides, Ranchi SSP Kaushal Kishore has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the matter.
“Named FIR against the five Muslim youths — Firdous Ansari, Suhail Ansari, Muzammil Ansari, Taufik Ansari, and Jameel Ansari — has been lodged, charging them of molestation, threatening and beating girls and school staff.
It has been alleged in the FIR that they barged into Project Plus Two High School in Sadma at Ormanjhi, waved weapons and threatened to abduct girls,” said the officer in charge of Ormanjhi Police Station Rajeev Kumar Singh.
The Muslim Youths involved a brief scuffle with the clerk and went out, but again came after some time with some more people brandishing weapons and threatening everyone there saying that they take the girls away with them,” said Principal Sebestini Kerketta.
Close on the heels of a string of attacks on Hindus by Muslims in Jharkhand, it was a shocking incident of armed Muslim youths barging into a school on the outskirts of state capital Ranchi and threatening to abduct Hindu girls studying there that has come to light.
“Be our friends or you will be kidnapped,” is how they allegedly terrorised the girls in broad daylight, in the presence of the teaching staff.
Following the incident, the girls told their parents about incident. After a meeting on the matter on Saturday held on the school premise, parents approached the Ormanjhi Police Station and filed a written complaint against three named and several unnamed accused.
They had allegedly vandalised a generator set also. They had also thrashed a few teachers and students following the incident.
According to school girls, threats have been made to the tribal and other Hindu girls studying in the school for the past few weeks.
“One of our classmates has stopped coming to school for a month due to the threats given by the accused persons and lewd remarks passed by them,” said a student.
The incident has come to light days after a Class 12 student Ankita was allegedly set on fire on August 23 by Muslim youth in Dumka.
BJP leaders – Godda MP Nishikant Dubey, North-east Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari and former Delhi legislator Kapil Mishra – met the family members of the victim and alleged that ‘severe negligence’ and ‘appeasement politics of the ruling dispensation led to her death. Claiming that it was a case of ‘Love Jihad’, they noted that Rs 28 lakh collected through crowd-funding has been handed over to her family

According to Organiser Weekly, Amanat Ali initially identified himself as Hindu.
Sangam Vihar – Jilted and violent
A 16-year-old girl was shot in South Delhi’s Sangam Vihar on 25 August. Delhi Police have arrested the main accused who allegedly hatched a conspiracy to kill her because she stopped talking to him.
Amanat Ali, 19, was arrested, while police had earlier arrested two other accused Bobby (24) and Pawan alias Sumit (19).
According to police, Ali came in contact with the girl on social media a couple of years ago. However, she stopped talking to him around six months ago, after which he held a grudge against her.
“He befriended my daughter on social media 3-4 months back, it was a fake id. We came to know about it in July when he made a man break our window panes,” said the victim’s father.
“He used to follow my daughter to and from school on his bike. When they broke our window in July, we called our Beat Constable. He had told us not to worry and that they would make him understand so that he doesn’t repeat it. Had the administration been strict on time, he wouldn’t have done this.
The doctor has said that bullets are still inside her but she is stable.
