PATNA: A joint police team of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar conducted raids at the ancestral house of JNU student Sharjeel Imam at Kako in Jehanabad district late on Saturday following arrest order issued against him by Aligarh police in a sedition case.Imam, one of the organisers of the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) protest at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, had allegedly made "seditious" statements in Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) by calling for cutting off Assam from the rest of India.Jehanabad SP Maneesh told TOI on Sunday that raids were carried out in search of Imam at Kako Bazar under Kako police station limit of the district. However, Imam couldn't be arrested.Imam is wanted in connection with a case lodged with Aligarh police station in Uttar Pradesh, another in Assam as well as Delhi for allegedly giving a provocative speech at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) on January 16, a video of which later went viral on social media. He can be heard giving a clarion call for cutting off Assam from India in the video.The SP admitted that some family members of Imam were quizzed by the members of the visiting police teams. Sleuths of intelligence agencies also interrogated Imam's close relatives. A few of them have been detained as well."We are cooperating with the police teams from outside the state in their investigation. There is no case pending against Imam here," the SP told TOI over phone before leaving for another destination to trace the JNU student.Authoritative sources said that the police team left for Patna where some relatives of Imam were living. "Imam’s immediate family members stay in Patna. We can't share more information related to the ongoing investigation as it's a sensitive issue. Senior officials are monitoring the police operation," a police officer posted at the police headquarters said.Sharjeel has stated on his official Facebook profile that he is from Patna and done schooling from St. Xavier’s High School here as well as DPS-Vasant Kunj in Delhi. Later, he got admitted to IIT-Bombay, from where he did post-graduation in computer science. He also worked as an IT programmer at the University of Copenhagen before coming to JNU, where he is a student in Centre for Historical Studies.Meanwhile, another video of Sharjeel has surfaced, in which he is heard asking people sitting on dharna in a village reportedly in Gaya district to come out of villages and block national highways in a bid to cut- off vehicular movements between states."…The remedy for our problems is forcing the government to agree to our demands…The first thing we did was to unite people to put forth our demands. This step was important because Muslim people stopped coming out on the streets. Last time, we were seen in 1985 but we have not come out on streets thereafter, especially not in such large numbers. The second step will be to use the anger of Muslims by forcefully stopping vehicular movement by sitting on the streets and not getting up till this law (CAA) is not taken back," he is heard saying in the video, the authenticity of which has not been verified by TOI.He goes on to say that Muslim protestors should not get up from the streets "till the detention camps in Assam are closed". "Tell me what you will do if detention camps will be opened in Bihar and women from your houses will be put in those camps. You will have to burn those detention camps."Talking about Shaheen Bagh, Sharjeel said: "Highway has been blocked due to the dharna at Shaheen Bagh- 1.5km has been blocked by protestors and another 1.5km by police. Thus, we blocked the highway for 3km, closed down petrol pumps, toll plazas and shopping malls. Moreover, every resident of Noida now reaches their homes three to four hours late. This is our success that we have kept vehicular traffic jammed in Delhi from one- and-a-half-month. But except Shaheen Bagh, highways have not been blocked anywhere else in India. You all should remember that dharna is different from blocking highways. We will get real success only when 100 Shaheen Baghs will be created."
