2. Police appeal to Hindus to go to temple; after they going there police beat them; later, to misguide people, police, dressed in plain clothes posing as Hindus, tell Hindus to go to temple : On Magh Shuklapaksha Panchami, Kali Yuga Varsha 5114 (15.2.2013), the day of ‘Vasant-Panchami’, Muslims read ‘namaz’ between 1.00 p.m. and 3.00 p.m. Hindus were afraid of going to temple due to day’s previous ‘lathi-charge’. At that time, police made an appeal, on loudspeakers, to Hindus to go to temple. After Hindus went to temple, police suddenly started ‘beating up Hindus with cane at 4.30 p.m.; but some police were standing outside the temple in plain clothes posing as Hindus so that outside people did not know about the ‘lathi-charge’. Those police were misguiding Hindus by informing that everything was peaceful in the temple; not to believe in rumours and go for ‘darshan’. Two policemen were standing near the gates dressed up as ‘Sadhus’ advising Hindus to go to temple. At 5.30 p.m. also Hindus were terrorized by beating them with ‘lathis’.

Navalkishore, were threatened by police : Police had detained the activists, who had organized meeting of Acharya Dharmendraji. Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP), Shri. Padmalochan Shukla and Mahu BJP President, Shri. Ashok Mawal were present in the police station At that time. The ASP said to one activist, “How we have implicated Naval in false case of gun; similarly, we will keep RDX and catch you to rot in jail permanently.”
4. Shri. Harsha Sharma was dragged when he was having food and taken forcibly by police.
5. Cruel police give false reason and implicate a Hindu, the only bread-winner of family : Shri. Sanjay Vishwakarma took part in the rally taken out in the year 2006 carrying picture of Saraswati Devi. Police had brutally beaten him up. He was working in a village about 50 kms from Mahu (He is a carpenter and only earning member in the family) when police called him giving reason of getting his signature on some paper but which was a lie. After his going there, he was deceived and since then he is put in jail.
