December 26, 2019 11:05

No septuagenarian wails before a stranger without reason.

Haji Hamid Hasan, a 72-year-old timber trader in Muzaffarnagar town in western Uttar Pradesh, said nearly 30 policemen, some in plainclothes, broke into his two-storey house around 11pm on Friday and went on the rampage.

Hasan said he was assaulted with a rifle butt when he protested and beaten with sticks. They vandalised the house, breaking washbasins, bathroom fittings, bed, furniture, fridge, washing machine and utensils, he added.

"I cried and begged for mercy but they were very brutal. They told me Muslims have only two places, Pakistan or Kabristan,"' he wailed while showing the scene of destruction inside his house and the injury on his leg.
