Ranchi (Jharkhand):
20 people were injured and undergoing treatment in Jharkhand’s Ranchi after violent clashes against suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s objectionable remarks against Prophet Muhammad and Islam. The protesters were demanding the arrest of Ms Sharma. Among them is a youth, who was shot six times and is recovering in the hospital.
Absar, a youth undergoing treatment at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), said he was returning from the market when he saw that he had been shot. He claims that he was returning from the market and was not participating in the protest when he saw a group of people pelting stones and in response the police opened fire. He said that he tried to run away but was shot and fell to the ground. He says he was shot six bullets, he says four bullets have been fired but two are still lodged in his body.
The doctor has said that they will take out the rest of the pills in a few days.
Another person, Tabarak, who was undergoing treatment at the hospital, claimed that he started running after seeing the sudden commotion and was shot. He also claimed that he was not participating in the protests.
