Ghaziabad:
Curfew was relaxed for five hours Monday in Ghaziabad's Masuri
area where six people were killed in police firing three days ago
and the kin of two victims sought action against an official. No
one has been arrested.
"During the relaxation of curfew no untoward incident was reported
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.," said District Magistrate Aprana Upadhyay.
Masuri police station in-charge P.K. Singh, a senior sub-inspector
and a sub-inspector with the local intelligence unit (LIU) have
been suspended, while suspension of circle officer-LIU has been
recommended to the state government, she said.
"In addition to these punitive actions, a high level inquiry by
the divisional commissioner is being conducted. No arrest has been
made so far for rioting," said the district magistrate.
Six people were killed as police opened fire to break up a
rampaging mob denouncing the alleged desecration of a holy book in
the district adjoining Delhi. Three policemen were also critically
injured in the violence.
Upadhyay said the alleged torn pages of the holy book, which
sparked the violence, were missing.
Aslam Qureshi, father of victim Asif, and Vakil Ahmad, brother of
Wasim, lodged a complaint with police alleging that they were shot
dead by the police station in-charge. They demanded that a
criminal case be registered against him.
The other dead were identified by authorities as Waheed, Lukman,
Amir and Hayat. Two of the six victims belonged to Meerut.
