The Dhaka Times Desk Everything has been burnt to ashes in a sudden fire. The role of the police in dealing with the horrific violence in northeast Delhi has been debated since its inception. Various media reports have added ghee to it.
It is the eyewitnesses who have complained against the Delhi Police. They said that the attackers were supported by a group of police. However, after losing the image of terrible violence, the light of hope has shone in the heart of Delhi.
The fire in India's capital New Delhi has been extinguished even earlier. Now wiping away the tears, the damage is being measured in various areas devastated by the violence. BBC Hindi steps into such a place.
The BBC reports that the violence on that day is a horrifying picture. A number of uniformed policemen hurling bricks and mortars from one side to the other like attackers - this picture went viral in the press and social media long ago. The BBC Hindi report claims that the incident is completely true. A section of police personnel also participated in the attack that day. That is, the keeper became the eater that day!
Himanshu Rathore, a resident of the area that had become the epicenter of violence a few days ago, said many things. Rathore alleged, 'They are appointed to keep common people safe. But the same police pelted stones on Muslims along with Hindus. There were no stones here. Some distance away the road was quite bad. A canal was being built there. Bricks and stones were being brought from that place. They were handing over the bricks! And he was saying that you should also kill him.
Anandabazar newspaper says that 5 young people were lying injured on the road. They were brutally tortured and forced to sing the national anthem. If you don't sing, your head was being thrown on the street by the fistful of hair! That picture also went viral on social media. Among those 5 youths, one named Faizan died. It is alleged that they were killed by the police.
Faizan's family said that Faizan's body had turned blue from the injuries. The horrible memory of that day still haunts Firke Rafiq. The situation is such that Rafiq is afraid to go for treatment.
On February 23, 15-year-old Dharmendra Sahay went to the market to buy rice. His house is a stone's throw away from Chandbagh. But even after 10 days, he still did not return home.

The flames are burning everything in front of the hand. An old man named Mahinder stood like a wall in the middle of it. He saved the Muslim neighbors by hugging his chest that day. Impressed with Mahinder, his neighbors said, 'No one dared. Sardarji and his son have come forward.'
What is Mahindra saying now? The old man said, 'I saw riots in 1984. It was as if that memory appeared in front of me that day. I have not seen anyone's religion, I have gone ahead to save people.'
