When Police DIG was lynched!!
On July 6, 2011, a Muslim mob spread the fake narrative of disrespect towards a religious book in Mainather, Moradabad, UP.
They ransacked a police outpost, set vehicles on fire, thrashed police men and Hindus.
The fanatic mob of 500 jihadis surrounded Ashok Kumar Singh, who was serving as the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in Moradabad at the time, and attacked him with rods, swords and sticks. They looted his pistol.
They thought that he was dead and left him. He sustained multiple injuries including eight fractures to his hands, shoulder, and ribs. He remained in hospital for 10 days and underwent medical treatment for nearly six months thereafter.
Ms Mayawati was the Chief Minister.
For 10 hours, that day, police personnel fought pitched battles with hundreds of Muslim villagers who poured in from other parts of Moradabad district and also from neighbouring Rampur, Sambhal and Amroha.
The accused set fire to a police jeep right inside the Mainather police station. With the specific intent of escalating the unrest, the Muslim rioters first assaulted people passing through the area.
Hindus, in particular, were being singled out and targeted.
Witnessing this, passing Hindus began abandoning their vehicles and fleeing. The travelers were left utterly helpless.
On 28 March 2026 (after 15 years) a local court in Moradabad sentenced 16 rioters to life imprisonment in connection with the preplanned violence.
The names of the anti-nationals are Manzoor Ahmed, Mohammad Ali, Hashim, Mohammad Kamrul, Mohammad Mujif, Mohammad Yunus, Rizwan, Anwar, Firoz, Kamrul, Mobin, Parvez, Mujib, Tahzeeb, and Jane Alam.
