‘Better to die than submit’: Muzaffarnagar residents allege police excess

Hindustan Times  

The wedding of 24-year-old Humera Parveen is due to take place in March. “The policemen rained lathis on my 75-year-old father and kept him at a police station for over 40 hours,” said Parveen, whose wedding plans have been thrown into uncertainty. “I don’t know, who killed my husband, but I have no one to care for me now,” said the 23-year-old woman. Sanno’s father, Mohammad Chand, said that he wouldn’t take “any step that will offend the government”. The police particularly chose the homes of well-off Muslim families to send a message that we would be left worthless,” said one of her brothers, who didn’t reveal his name.
