Namazis video: Jamiat condemns incident, urges Amit Shah to terminate Delhi police officer’s service

People from various sections of the society, including political leaders, condemned the act of the sub-inspector after a video of the incident went viral on social media.

The incident took place during a Friday prayer around 2 pm near the Inderlok metro station. The act of the policeman was captured on camera and the video has since gone viral on social media platforms.

Maulana Mahmood Madani, who heads a faction of the Jamiat, strongly condemned the police officer’s physical attack on people praying.

In a letter to Shah, Madani pointed out that such incidents not only deepen a significant trust deficit, but also tarnish the country’s global reputation.

He emphasised the lasting psychological impact on the Muslim community when law-enforcement officials become perpetrators of such acts.

In his letter to Shah, Madani urged for the immediate termination of the services of the police officer responsible for the “hate-filled actions”.

He asserted that Tomar’s conduct reflects a deep-seated Islamophobic attitude influenced by communal forces.

Madani also expressed concern about the alarming “anti-Muslim environment” in Delhi.
