Police deployed for security at Abdul’s house
Two male policemen and one female policeman have also been deployed outside Abdul’s house. Due to security reasons, one is not allowed to go to Abdul’s house without entry and permission from the police.

“I have been associated with the CJP movement since the beginning. I also went to Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Was there till July 26. Returned home by train on July 27. After this, some people of the village started getting angry with me.”
“I was assaulted for the first time on July 28. BJP workers surrounded me and started pushing me. They asked why I had gone to Delhi. After this they started breaking my scooter and threatened to kill me.”
“The people of the village intervened and calmed down the matter. After this, my old phone was snatched away. I had many important evidences in it. I had also gone to Indus Police Station with the complaint of first assault, but the police did not take the matter seriously. The people who attacked my family on August 13 were the same people who had assaulted me earlier.”
Enraged after showing the condition of the school
Abdul tells that due to the ‘Fix the School’ movement, he reached his old primary school on the morning of 13 August. Here permission was sought from Kashinath Dey, in-charge of teachers, to show the problems of the school. He asked for Abdul’s name and address.
Abdul alleges;-
The same day at 8 pm, BJP goons came to the house. The lights were cut off and they started slapping, kicking and punching me in the dark. A man came with a sharp blade, but I was saved in the darkness. Papa was also beaten very badly. We escaped and called the police but they did not agree even before the police.
Abdul further explains that the father had suffered serious injuries. The accused also beat up the father in the hospital. Threatened to kill in front of the police. Then on August 14, between 10-11 am, three goons came to the house and started pressurizing for an agreement. They wanted us to come live on Facebook and apologize. But we refused to bow down.
