CAA Protest: 2 Azamgarh Minors Free After 4 Months in Adult Jail
The QuintAmong the 19 arrested, was also 62-year-old Tahir Madni, a teacher at the nearby Madrasa and general secretary of Rashtriya Ulema Council. Speaking to The Quint, Madni said, “On 4 February evening, police asked me to talk to the protesters and ask them to clear the site. “This time, when I told the women that the police has detained me and my health was not doing too well, they understood and told me that they would leave the spot in 2 hours after reading the morning namaaz.” But when he returned and told the administration that it was just a matter of 2 hours, the police decided to arrest him. Madni says when he asked the police officer what his crime was, the cop told him, “How come you are so well reputed in this area and still the women aren’t listening to you? According to our intelligence sources, we have found out that you are the mastermind behind the protest and you had already tutored the women to not cave in to police requests.” Madni said, “When the police tried to quell the protest by force, there were many protesters who were injured including a woman.” However, SO Naval Kishore denied Madni’s versions and said, “The police did not ask any Maulana to help.
