AGRA: Banne Khan , 87, who died six-years ago, will now need to apply for bail to prove that he does not pose threat to peace in Firozabad. Similarly, 93-year-old Fasahat Meer Khan of Kotla Mohalla , who’s been bedridden for months, and 90-year-old Sufi Ansar Hussain of Kotla Pathanan, who is suffering from pneumonia and has just returned from Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital , also need to visit the magistrate’s office to apply for bail as they are among nearly 200 who, Firozabad police thinks, could hamper peace during any CAA protests in the region in the near future.Besides, Fasahat Meer Khan and Sufi Ansar Hussain are both members of local peace committees. In fact, Firozabad district magistrate Chandra Vijay Singh and superintendent of police Sachindra Patel had met Hussain two weeks ago and had asked him and others to spread the message of peace in the area.Parvez Khan, elder son of Banne Khan whose grave is a few paces away from their house, said, "I asked local police to visit the graveyard and ask my abba to apply for bail. The kind of nonsense the district administration is doing blindly to target Muslims is deeply disturbing."He said, "I came to know about notice through a local vernacular newspaper. They must have at least cross-checked that my father choked to death while eating mutton biryani in 2014."In the wake of December 20 violence during the anti-CAA protests here, the district administration invoked CrPc’s sections 107/116 (3) against scores of men whom they considered "troublemakers", forcing the men to seek bail against a personal bond with sureties.Proceedings under these sections are drawn when the magistrate receives an information and believes after forming an opinion that there is substantial ground for proceeding against a person. Police identify potential troublemakers on the basis of intelligence, mostly provided by beat constables, sub-inspectors or reports by police outpost in-charges.However, the families of Banne Khan, Fasahat Meer Khan and Sufi Ansar Hussain claimed that the one deceased and two nonagenarians were known in their areas to be "men of communal peace" rather than trouble."In the aftermath of the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992, the district administration had turned to us for help, like they did before December 20 violence this year. We help local administration maintain peace. We were never mentioned in any police record as threat. I don’t know why they issued such a notice to a 90-year-old person suffering from pneumonia," said Sufi Ansar Hussain, who has been secretary of Firozabad’s Jama Masjid for the past 58 years.Mohammad Tahir, 61-year-old son of Farshat Meer Khan, said, "My father has been bedridden for the past several months. On December 23, a sub-inspector along with a constable visited our home and saw him lying on the bed. Two days later, other policemen came and pasted a notice at our house."Responding to TOI queries over the notices, Firozabad SP Sachindra Patel said, "I have asked the CO (city) to probe the matter and remove the wrongly listed names. I believe our cops were provided wrong names by our sources. It’s a mistake which should have been avoided."
