RANCHI: In what could be termed a “blatant attempt” to incite communal tension in the state, some Muslim youths barged into a government school in a Ranchi suburb, brandishing weapons and threatened the girls to either befriend them or be ready to be abducted by them.
The incident took place when Teacher’s Day was being celebrated at Project Plus Two High School in Sadma, Ormanjhi, on September 5.
However, the police came to know of this only on Saturday when the school convened a meeting of two communities to sort out the matter, but the two sides clashed and the police had to intervene to prevent a communal flare-up.
The police later booked five accused for creating ruckus and threatening school staff and students.
The incident has come to light days after a Class 12 student Ankita was allegedly set on fire on August 23 by a Muslim youth in Dumka. The police is conducting raids to arrest five accused. Besides, Ranchi SSP Kaushal Kishore has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the matter.
“Named FIR against the five Muslim youths — Firdous Ansari, Suhail Ansari, Muzammil Ansari, Taufik Ansari, and Jameel Ansari — has been lodged, charging them of molestation, threatening and beating girls and school staff. It has been alleged in the FIR that they barged into Project Plus Two High School in Sadma at Ormanjhi, waved weapons and threatened to abduct girls,” said the officer in charge of Ormanjhi Police Station Rajeev Kumar Singh.
“The police was informed only after the situation got out of their control on Saturday, otherwise the FIR would have been lodged immediately after the September 5 incident,” said the officer in charge.
Confirming the September 5 incident, the school principal asserted that an altercation took place between the youth and school clerk, who intercepted them when he saw them heading towards the auditorium after they entered the school premises.
“The clerk simply asked them to go back as they were not from the school. They get into a brief scuffle with the clerk and went out, but again came after some time with some more people brandishing weapons and threatening everyone there saying that they take the girls away with them,” said Principal Sebestini Kerketta.
Those people had already been warned earlier not to disturb the girls in the school and they had promised not to do it in future, but again, they came to the school and the incident took place on September 5, she added.
According to school girls, threats have been made to the tribal and other Hindu girls studying in the school for the past few weeks.
“One of our classmates has stopped coming to school since a month due to the threats given by the accused persons and lewd remarks passed by them,” said a student.
