Riot Accused Doctor Alleges Witch-Hunt

M A Anwar, the owner of Al Hind Hospital in north-east Delhi’s Mustafabad area, against whom the Delhi Police has filed a charge sheet for his alleged role in the riots in February this year, has claimed that he has been made an accused because he moved the court in order to help those injured in the riots.

“I remember the Delhi Police telling me that I should not approach the court in order to help those injured in the riots. But I ignored their statement. It (the charge sheet) is an outcome of this I guess,” Anwar said. He has been made an accused in the murder of a 20-year-old waiter, Dilbar Negi.
