‘My soul burnt the Quran’, says accused Taj Mohammad
Taj Mohammad said in his confession, “I don’t do any work. I’m always roaming around being jobless. My family is not getting me married. This keeps me upset.” On being asked why did he burn the religious text, accused Taj Mohammad said, “It is not me but my soul that has burnt it.” On Thursday morning, the District Magistrate took stock of the area. He appealed to everyone not to pay heed to rumours.
Hafiz Haseeb, the plaintiff in the case, said, “Tension prevailed in the area after the incident. Despite this, morning prayers were offered. But, the number of people attending the morning prayers was far less than the regular. This is the first such incident in Shahjahanpur. Police should take strict action in the matter.”
