AIMIM delegation visits riot affected Faridabad village

New Delhi: A delegation of All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) visited the riot-hit Atali village in Ballabgarh near Faridabad in neighbouring Haryana and demanded that the state government must constitute a special enquiry team to expose the conspiracy behind these riots.

The AIMIM team, led by Mohammad Afzal Khan, ward number 205 president, Okhla (New Delhi) along several members of AIMIM Delhi, met the victims from the Atali village on May 27, a release from Khan, the AIMIM leader in Delhi, said.

A PTI report quoted SHO In-charge Inspector Preetpal saying: “At least five persons were injured and about 15 houses burnt on Monday when people from the two communities clashed over construction of the religious structure adjacent to the other community’s religious site.”

Scores of people had fled their house in fear and taken refuge at the local police station. The houses were looted and set afire, which made it immediately not possible for the victims to return to their respective households.
