Curfew has been extended in parts of the walled city of Jaipur for the third consecutive day on Monday following a clash between a section of Muslim residents from Ramgunj locality and the police over a traffic-triggered dispute late on Friday night.
A young Muslim, Mohammed Raees (24) also known as Aadil was allegedly killed in the police firing while four policemen were reportedly injured.
Following post-mortem, the body of the deceased was handed over to the relatives on Monday morning and only a limited number of curfew passes have been issued for the funeral procession and burial, according to Amar Ujala.
With no response yet to the demands raised by Aadil’s family, the situation in the Ramgunj area continues to be tense. The family had initially refused to let the body be taken for post-mortem.
Besides, they have demanded an FIR against the police, suspension of the entire Ramganj police station staff. Rs 1 crore as compensation and a government job for one family member.
The demands were raised when a delegation of community leaders, led by former minister Dadu Miyan met the commissioner and district collector on Sunday. There has been no statement yet from the state’s chief minister or home minister.
The BJP party has accused the Congress party of politicising the issue. The state BJP president Ashok Parnami said the party had been having talks with the Muslims but it appeared that no one was willing to take any decision. He added that the government will pay compensation to Aadil’s family as per its existing policy in such cases.
Muslim organizations propose to hold a dharna today on Jawaharlal Nehru Marg which is outside the curfew zone.
