Muslim man with amputated hands identified as "stone-pelter" by MP police, his shop demolished
Khargone: In what has brought disgrace to the Shivraj Singh Chouhan led Madhya Pradesh administration, one of the “stone-pelter” identified by MP police and whose shop was razed by the administration, had his hands amputated in 2005.
The Madhya Pradesh administration has been flaunting its act of demolishing the houses and shops selectively belonging to Muslims identified by the cops as “stone-pelters”.
According to journalist Kashif Kakvi, Wasim Shaikh was one of those unfortunate Muslims, who faced the brutality from the administration.
Kakvi shared the photo of Shaikh and wrote, “#KhargoneRiot Terming him a “stone pelter”, a gumti (shop) of Wasim Shaikh was razed by @CollecterK on April 11. Shaikh’s hand were amputated in 2005 after he sustained injuries from electric current. Father of two, Shaik has a family of 5 to feed. Yet, admin razed his shop.”
The action by the Madhya Pradesh government was reportedly taken based on First Information Reports (FIR) filed by police after witnesses and victims filed complaints.
Reacting to the BJP government’s brutality, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi wrote, “BJP’s Hindutva ideology has no place for humanity. It’s the State Government’s arms of Law that have been amputated. It feels powerful after making poor people poorer & homeless. It has an obsession with giving extrajudicial collective punishment to the Muslim community.”
"Jis admi ko khana aur pani dusre log khilate hai, wo patthar kaise phek sakta hai" Waseem was quoted as saying.
In similar instance, three Muslim men who were in jail since March 5 were named on the list of Ram Navami riot-accused persons in Khargone. Following the riots that took place on Sunday, the house of one of the men accused of rioting was demolished on 11 April, along with 16 other houses.
The people who are named in the case are Shabaz, Fakru, and Rauf. The three were falsely charged for rioting in Khargone during Ram Navami celebrations on 10 April.
According to a report by the NDTV, the trio has been in jail since their arrest last month but has been accused of setting a motorbike on fire on April 10 in Sendhwa of Barwani district. They have been charged with rioting at the same police station where they were charged with attempted murder.
When asked about the lapse, the police officials at Barwani said that the case was filed based on the statement of the complainant.

Karnataka to witness heavy rain for next 10 days
Bengaluru: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that the southwest monsoon will cause heavy rainfall likely this weekend and will drench Karnataka over the next 10 days.
The monsoon has begun retreating from northwestern India. Conditions remain active over the south, with an upper air trough extending up to 1.5 km over North Interior Karnataka and northern Tamil Nadu, combined with weakening monsoon winds across the peninsula, is driving the current spell. N. Puviarasan, head of the IMD’s meteorological centre in Bengaluru, said in a conversation with Deccan Herald, “As a result, the whole of Karnataka will see rain over the next week to 10 days."
With a cyclone in the Pacific Ocean along with a low-pressure system over the north Bay of Bengal, the monsoon is expected to intensify during the next four days. IMD has predicted heavy rains across South Interior Karnataka, including Bengaluru, throughout the weekend.
Bengaluru, recorded widespread moderate to heavy rainfall on Thursday. Between 8.30 am and 8.30 pm, Bengaluru city logged 45.9 mm of rain accompanied by thunderstorms. HAL airport registered 6 mm and the Bengaluru Urban automatic station recorded 47.5 mm. Doddathoguru, near Electronics City, reported 55 mm.
According to IMD forecast heavy rainfall will occur at isolated places in Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Yadgir, Koppal, Raichur, Ramanagara and Mandya districts in the next few days.
The southwest monsoon is now expected to extend until mid-October and with little or no break in between, the northeast monsoon is likely to follow immediately. These are expected to last until December. “There may be no break in between,” Puviarasan said.
