  • ‘If we do not leave, they would set fire to our slum’, says scared Muslim migrants in Gurugram

    By PTI

    GURUGRAM: Scared by the violence, auto-rickshaw driver Rehmat Ali is thinking of going back home to West Bengal.

    “Some people came on motorcycles on Tuesday night, threatening us that if we do not leave, they would set fire to our slum. Police have been present here since night but my family is scared and we are leaving the city,” said Ali, who lives in a slum in Sector 70A here.

    “We can come back when the situation improves,” he added.

    After the communal violence in Gurugram, some Muslim migrants are thinking of leaving the city at least for a while.

    Six people, including two home guards and a cleric, have died in the clashes that erupted in Nuh over an attempt to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession and spread to Gurugram over the past two days.

    Like Ali, there are many others who have decided to leave the Millennium City that provides livelihood to a number of migrant people from across the country.

    Bamisha Khatun, a native of West Bengal who also lives in the Sector 70A slum, said that she had come to Gurugram in search of work three years ago.

    Khatun, who works as a maid, said, “I fear for my life and property, and have decided to leave for my hometown.”

    Ahila Bibi, another migrant, said that she did not want to take risks and would come back later when the situation improves.

    Khalid, a native of West Bengal, said he has no other option but to leave the city.

    “We talked to our land owner who clearly said that he will not be responsible for any untoward incident in the wake of communal flare-up. So, we decided to return to our native village,” Khalid, a painter, said.

    According to police, several people, most of them from the Muslim community, living in slums in Wazirabad, Ghata village, Sector 70A and Badshahpur, are returning to their native place.

    A senior police officer accepted that some migrant workers who used to work as drivers, gardeners, street hawkers, servants and maids are going back to their native places due to fear.

    Several people from Manesar, Teekli, Kasan, IMT and some other areas are also thinking of returning to their native places.

    “It has come to our knowledge that some workers are returning to their native places but the situation in Gurugram is normal. Our confidence-building exercise continues with RWAs and slum area residents. They should not fear, and we assure them of their safety and security,” Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav said.

    Meanwhile, many fruit hawkers were found missing from Gurdwara Road near the main vegetable market and also from Khandsa Mandi on Wednesday.

    GURUGRAM: The husband of the woman whose naked body was found stuffed inside a suitcase near IFFCO Chowk here a couple of days ago was arrested Wednesday for allegedly killing her, police said.

    Police claimed that the 22-year-old man Rahul has confessed that he killed his wife over domestic strife.

    The deceased has been identified as Priyanka (20) who lived with her husband and a one-year-old daughter at a rented accommodation in Sirhual village here, a police official said, adding they got married in February last year.

    After the woman’s body was found on Monday afternoon, police filed an FIR under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 201 (hiding the evidence) at Sector 18 police station.

    The post-mortem revealed that she was strangulated to death. 

    A police team scanned footage from CCTVs at IFFCO Chowk and identified an e-rickshaw in which the accused had reached the spot with the suitcase, ACP (crime) Preet Pal Singh Sangwan said.

    “On questioning the e-rickshaw driver, it was found that the person had boarded the vehicle from Sirhaul village. Following combing of the village, Rahul was nabbed,” the police officer said.

    They used to fight over this issue quite often.

    On the night of October 16, Priyanka slapped Rahul following a fight, which enraged him and he strangulated her, Sangwan said.

    On the morning of October 17, he bought a big suitcase and stuffed her wife’s naked body into it after peeling off the skin from her hand which had her name tattooed.

    The knife also has been recovered by police, the ACP said.

    “We have informed the families of both the accused and deceased,” the police officer added.
