Bidar: Police have arrested two people in connection with a case against Shaheen School of Bidar for allegedly enacting a play on Republic Day wherein a fake information being disseminated to student and society that if CAA-NPR and NRC is brought the Muslim has to leave India.
The arrested people have been identified as Fareeda and Nagma. Fareeda is reportedly a teacher in the school while Nagma is said to be a mother of student who participated in the alleged drama.
Based on the complaint from a local activist Neelesh Rakshaal, police had registered a case against Shaheen Educational Institution and a local journalist Yousuf Raheem, who reportedly shared the video clip of the drama on social media. The case was registered under section 504, 505(2), 124(A), 153(A) and 34 of Indian Penal Code.
Shaheen Educational Institution in an official release added that the invoking of such sections which also stands for sedition was “beyond imagination of any reasonable person”.
“Police has not stopped up to this, in the name of the Investigation, the Police on 27.01.2020 has seized the control room of the institution and scanned all the CCTV footage and parked their official vehicles in the premise of the institution which created fear and panic among students.
“That, later next day i.e., on 28.01.2020 the Police started interrogating the Minor Students. It has disturbed the day to day functioning of the School which has indirectly affected the education of hundreds of students who are pursuing their primary, secondary education in the institution” the release from the institution read.
“Shaheen Institution is a minority education institution and has substantially contributed in raising the educational awareness among minority community especially in backward region of Karnataka which nationally lag behind in all social parameter. Shaheen Institution is being targeted not for the alleged Drama but to create fear and panic among the Minority Community and its institution. In times when “Shaheen Bagh” has become synonymous to struggle for saving a constitution than “Shaheen Institution” has become victim of State Intolerance to constitutional idea of liberty of thought and expression” it further stated.
On Thursday, the alumni association of the institution also wrote a letter to Chairperson Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights adding that the police team investigating the matter had violated the rights given to children by the law and alleged that the investigation officers in the name of interrogation mentally harassed the minor students.
The letter further alleged that the policemen interrogated the students on uniform while some of them were also carrying their official pistols.
“The police seem have violated this rule blatantly as the interrogation of children in absence of their parents was done in a terrifying manner. This is against the laws and procedure laid in the Act. We therefore urge you to please take immediate action against this blatant violation of child rights and issue recommendations to the Bidar Police to adhere the rules of the Juvenile Justice ( Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and conduct the proceedings in a child friendly manner, at the earliest.” The letter stated.
