Ghaziabad violence: 'Missing' complainant found


GHAZIABAD: Even though various reports have mentioned that the man who had made the complaint regarding defacement of a religious book, which led to riots in Masuri of Ghaziabad, has been missing, TOI managed to track him down. The man, identified as Mateui-Ur-Rehman, has been living in the area from the past 16 years along with his father Jalilu-Ur-Rehman, mother, wife and two daughters. He added that there was no question of him fleeing the area.
Rehman also denied the version of the complaint with the police. "We came to know about defacement of the book at 1pm on Friday. The matter was raised before seniors of the colony and we went to the police station in the evening to lodge a complaint. While we narrated the sequence of events, a sub-inspector wrote it down. After the complaint was written, muezzin Abdul Qadir was the one who signed it," said Rehman.
"The defaced religious book was found by some people, who had handed it over to Abdul Gaffar, a mentally challenged person living in the locality. Gaffar then gave it to some boys of the locality who handed it to muezzin Abdul Qadir," Rehman added.
SP (rural) Jagdish Sharma said that he did not know whether the sub-inspector who wrote the complaint read it back to the complainants or not. "We will figure it out during our investigation," Sharma said.
