Police had to use tear gas to disperse the angry mob. Around 3,000 people had collected around 6.30 pm and took out the police records from the Jamia police post and set them on fire before setting fire to the the post too. The SHO of the area Rajesh Sharma and additional SHO Akhilesh Singh were severely injured. The injured police officers were rushed to AIIMS, Holy Family and Apollo. Several vehicles including police jeeps were also set ablaze by the mob. Traffic in the area was disrupted for nearly four hours. CRPF personnel and additional police force from other districts were deployed. Just when the traffic situation became normal, the mob pelted stones at the Sahinbagh police post and set it on fire too. The Delhi Police has declared high alert in other minority-dominated areas like Seelampur, Jafarpur etc. Said Sultan Ahmed, a local leader: "We were sorting out the issue with the police. They urged us to bring in the person who had put up the bookstall and to whom the Koran belonged. Suddenly the mob started pelting stones at the post. The gate was locked but the mob broke the gate down and many policemen were hurt in the process." Senior officers ordered all the wireless sets in the adjoining district and those in the district to be jammed to prevent the spreading of rumours. --------- [3] From: syed rahman <surahman2000@yahoo.com Date: Sun Sep 23, 2007 Subject: Hindu fatwa: Vedanti says he was misquoted Hindu fatwa: Vedanti says he was misquoted By Rajeev Khanna http://www.khabrein.info/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=6621&Itemid=8\ 8 Bhopal, Sep 23: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Sunday condemned attacks on its offices in Tamil Nadu and criticised the DMK for "political fascism" even as its former MP Ram Vilas Vedanti said his remarks - announcing bounty on DMK chief M.
