The police in Haridwar have so far booked four Jamaatis and the mother of one Jamaati for helping her son escape the authorities.
It will be recalled that the state’s director general of police Anil Raturi had requested all those who had attended the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi or elsewhere to present themselves before the authorities by April 6, warning that those who remain hiding after this deadline would be booked also for attempt to murder when found by the authorities.
Following these directions, the police lodged FIRs against two Jamaatis in Roorkee Kotwali. Later, on Thursday, the police lodged cases against two Jamaatis and the mother of one of them in the Jwalapur Kotwali.
The Haridwar senior superintendent of police Senthil Avoodai Krishnaraj S said that two identified Jamaatis who had not appeared before the authorities were booked under sections 307 and other sections of IPC apart from the Disaster Management Act. The mother of one of these Jamaatis has also been booked for helping her son escape the authorities.
However, he added that following the deadline issued by the DGP, 162 Jamaatis had appeared before the authorities.
