New Delhi, May 8 (UNI) Delhi Police have arrested three people in connection with the Jahangirpuri clash which occurred last month during Hanuman Jayanti procession. It is alleged that one of the accused was part of the Aman Committee of Jahangirpuri area.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, North West Delhi, Usha Rangnani said that a news was being circulated in the media that one accused, identified as Tabrez Alam, was arrested by Crime Branch Delhi Police in connection with riot case of April 14, of Jahangirpuri Police Station. It was further being circulated that Tabrez was one of the member of Aman Committee of Jahangirpuri Police Station and one of the organisers of Tiranga Yatra that was carried out in Jahangirpuri area on April 20, to send a message of communal harmony and peace, DCP added.
In this regard, it was clarified that after riots in Jahangirpuri, Police had a prime and a very focused role of establishing peace and order in the area, during which a large number of people of all communities were co-opted to appeal to people to maintain peace and communal harmony.
Anyone from the area who approached local police with the same idea was associated with Aman Committee as a confidence building measure with the community.
Investigation is independent from law and order and if the role of anyone is established during investigation, the same is dealt with as per law irrespective of the fact whether he helped local police in establishing peace and harmony post riots in the area or otherwise, said DCP.
