'Will Hold You Responsible If Anything Happens': Bombay HC Tells Police After Muslim Man Was Allegedly Attacked Despite Protection Orders

After it was informed that a Muslim man, who along with his family was allegedly forced to chant "Jai Shri Ram" on a Mumbai-bound train, had escaped an allegedly "planned" accident in Kankavli, the Bombay High Court on Thursday, warned the state police that if anything happens to the man or if he dies, the concerned police officers will be held accountable for the same. On Wednesday, Shaikh's counsel Gautam Kanchanpurkar told the bench that his client will be again travelling to his native place in Kankavli and thus apprehends attack from Rane or others, who have been opposing him for filing criminal cases against the students and also against Rane. However, on Thursday, Kanchanpurkar, mentioned the matter and informed the bench that despite clear order to provide protection, his client escaped a life threatening accident. On hearing this, a visibly irked Justice Mohite-Dere questioned additional public prosecutor Prajakta Shinde if the oral order to provide protection was properly communicated or not.
