Muslims pelt stones at Ram Navami procession in Dhanbad, Police parade Hindus around the market

• Police blame innocent instead of real culprits

• National Human Rights Commission issues notice to Jharkhand Govt

Dhanbad (Jharkhand) – A Ram Navami procession faced stones pelting by fanatic Muslims here; but instead of taking action against the Muslims, the Police misbehaved with the Hindu organizers of the procession. The Police took the organizers into custody, tied them up with ropes and paraded them around the market. National Human Rights Commission Chairman Priyank Kanungo has taken serious note of the incident and sent a notice to the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police of Jharkhand.

The Commission has termed the practice of tying Hindus with ropes and making them walk around the market as a violation of human rights. The Commission has ordered a detailed report on the matter to be submitted within 7 days.

झारखंड के धनबाद में रामनवमी शोभायात्रा में जिहादी तत्वों द्वारा पथराव की घटना बाद पुलिस द्वारा नियंत्रण के नाम पर आरोपितों के अलावा हिंदू श्रद्धालुओं और आयोजकों को रस्सी से बांध कर उनको अपमानित करने की शिकायत प्राप्त हुई है।

1. In Bhikhrajpur village in Baliapur area of ​​Dhanbad, fanatic Muslims pelted stones at a Ram Navami procession. Many Hindu devotees were injured in this stone-pelting.

2. The Police reached the spot and took some people from both the groups into custody; however, the matter has become serious only because of the mistreatment of Hindus.

3. According to footage circulated on social media, the Police tied up social activist Shatrughan Mahato and other organizers of the procession and openly paraded them through the market.

4. Shashank Raj, the District President of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, strongly objected to this and filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission. ‘The Police are completely biased. While the stone-pelting was done by a Muslim group, the organizers of the procession were made to walk on the streets like criminals,’ Shashank Raj has alleged in his complaint.

5. After this incident, there is an atmosphere of anger in the area and there is a demand for action to be taken against the concerned Police officers.

Editorial Perspectives

• Are these Police India’s or Pakistan’s ? The Police who mistreat innocent Hindus do not show courage to punish Muslims.
• Since there is an anti-Hindu Jharkhand Mukti Morcha government in Jharkhand, is it any wonder that the Police take such action ?
