Police negligence, Doctor's lapses reasons behind Tabrez Ansari's death, finds inquiry
RANCHI: Tabrez Ansari, who was thrashed last month by a mob that forced him to chant "Jai Shri Ram", died due to the negligence of police officials and lapses on the part of doctors, according to a government inquiry in Jharkhand.
Local police officials arrived too late and the doctor who treated Tabrez Ansari, 24, "did not take the matter seriously", concluded the inquiry panel, which included a sub-divisional officer and the district civil surgeon.
On June 18 Tabrez Ansari was travelling with friends when a mob accused him of stealing a motorcycle. In a horrific mobile phone video of the incident that subsequently went viral, Tabrez Ansari is thrashed and forced to chant "Jai Shri Ram" and "Jai Hanuman". The assault went on for hours before he fell unconscious and the police finally arrived.
An unconscious Ansari was then arrested for stealing a motorcycle before being taken to hospital. The two doctors who examined him cleared him to be sent to jail in that state. When he was taken to a hospital four days later, doctors declared him dead on arrival.
"He was mercilessly beaten as he was Muslim. I don't have anybody, no in-laws. My husband was my only support. I want justice," Shahista Parveen, Tabrez Ansari's wife said.
On Tuesday video-messaging app TikTok deleted a clip linked to the death of Tabrez Ansari and accused the men who uploaded the clip of "hate-mongering". The clip was deleted after the Mumbai Police registered a complaint from Shiv Sena activist Ramesh Solanki.
The deleted video showed five men - Faisal Shaikh, Hasnain Khan, Faiz Baloch, Adnan Shaikh and Sadhan Faroqui - saying, "You may have killed that innocent Tabrez Ansari, but tomorrow if his son takes revenge, do not say that all Muslims are terrorists."
After the attack 11 men were arrested and two police officers suspended. Action against the doctors was on hold pending the results of the inquiry.
Earlier this week the Jharkhand High Court sought a report on the incident.
A public meeting called last week to protest Tabrez Ansari's death turned violent after stones were thrown at a bus and several vehicles were vandalised. In response, three Muslim men were thrashed.
The police intervened and brought the situation under control. Action will be taken based on CCTV footage.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
