My son is a Mojjim (cleaner) of the mosque. He teaches Urdu to children. He is very simple. He cannot do anything wrong. We are very poor people. We make a living by working as laborers. I don’t know what happened? Why did they take our son away? This is the pain of Aashiya, the mother of Mahkar (26) who was caught from Khiwai town of Meerut. She is repeatedly saying that there could be some misunderstanding. Her Mahkar cannot do anything wrong. Actually, Mahkar has been arrested by the NIA team on Saturday. The case is being said to be related to terror funding. Sources say that the link of the Mojjim with the Pakistani terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed is being searched. What do his family members say about Mahkar? To know how famous he is among the people of the village, Dainik Bhaskar’s team reached Khiwai town… 35 km from Meerut headquarters. Nagar Panchayat Khiwai is far away. There are 19 thousand voters in this town with a population of about 45 thousand. 75 percent of the population in the town is Muslim. When people were asked about the address of Mahkar’s house, they looked and asked what was the NIA matter. Yes…on saying this, people pointed towards the narrow lane going inside from the wide road. At the end of the lane, people were gathered outside the small gate of the house on the right side. As soon as we entered the gate, we saw a crowd of women and children in the room. Women were coming and going. Mahkar’s mother Ashiya was saying the same thing again and again that I don’t know why they took my child. Neither did they tell him about any crime nor did they give any proof. They took him away in the car. He had become the Mozzim of the mosque after the death of his father 5 years ago. Seeing the team, the men of the house and the people of the neighborhood also came. Many responsible people of the village were called. Mahkar’s mother Ashiya told- her husband late Jamshed was the Mozzim in the big mosque. He died 5 years ago. After this, his third son Mahkar was appointed as the Mujjim in the big mosque. Mahkar studied a little bit of Urdu in the madrasa. He cleans the mosque and also teaches Urdu to the children. The family members were woken up while sleeping…
According to the people, a police vehicle went around the town at 1 o’clock on Friday night. At 3 o’clock, a large number of police and civil trace teams arrived in 6 vehicles along with the Vajra vehicle. The narrow lane in Mahalwala locality was surrounded. The team knocked on the door and woke up the sleeping family members. As soon as the gate was opened, the team spread out in the whole house. They seized everyone’s mobile and started questioning where Mahkar was? The family members told that he sleeps in the mosque at night. The team reached the mosque with Bhai Babu and called Mahkar out and took him into custody and brought him home. The team kept asking where is the pistol…searched the whole house
Mahkar’s sister-in-law Shahjahan told that the team asked Mahkar where is the pistol? Mahkar said that I have nothing. After this, the team searched the whole house. They opened all the trunks and cupboards. They started looking at Mahakar’s mobile. They confiscated the mobiles of all the members. The team kept asking Mahakar about the weapons but he kept denying any information. After this, the team kept talking to Mahakar alone for three hours, video recording of this was also done. After 4 hours of investigation, the team took Mahakar with them. Bhai Babu said – The team kept talking to Mahakar in a separate room for 3 hours. The team stayed in the house for 4 hours. At 7.30 in the morning, the team took Mahakar with them. As a responsible person, they also took his brother Zuber with them. According to the family members, they were not told anything about what was the fault of Mahakar. The team said that whatever happens will be known. Former Pradhan of Khiwai, Sheru Pradhan, says that Mahakar is of very calm behavior. He never talks to anyone. In such a situation, no one is able to understand anything. Councilor Nooren said that till date no complaint has ever been received about Mahakar anywhere. In such a situation, it is surprising that NIA took him away. The house was built under PM Awas Yojana, the family is raised by working as a labourer. Mahkar’s mother Ashiya lives in a 150-yard house with 6 sons, 2 daughters-in-law and 4 grandchildren. The family runs on the wages of the sons. As soon as you enter the house, there is a room made of bricks. The second one is built at the end. Two rooms were built in 2020 under PM Awas Yojana. Imran (32), the eldest of Ashiya’s seven sons, works as a labourer. Babu (29), the second one, transports bricks. Mahkar, the third one, is a muezzin in a mosque. Maharaj (24), the fourth one, teaches children in a madrasa in Nahal, Ghaziabad. Zuber (22), the fifth one, works as a labourer. Noor Alam (20), the sixth one, stays at home due to loss of eyesight. Shuaib (18), the seventh one, is studying in a madrasa. Mahkar’s aunt was married in Pakistan, connection being searched
Mahkar’s father Jamshed had three siblings. The family of the second brother Ilyas also lives in Khiwai. Sister Kallo was married in Pakistan about 45 years ago. Jamshed’s wife Aashiya told that it has been 40 years since her marriage. After this, sister-in-law Kallo never came to the village. The intelligence department team also took information from the family members about the aunt in Pakistan. Input is also being searched about when Kallo came to India for the last time. When the family members were asked what Mahkar uses on his mobile, the family members said that they do not know about it. They say that it is also possible that Mahkar may have written something somewhere by mistake, due to which he has come under suspicion. However, they do not know anything about it. NIA, UP ATS and IB… there is something big.
NIA is busy interrogating the mosque’s Mozzim Mahkar. Mahakar was arrested in a joint operation by UP ATS and IB on Friday morning. Several intelligence agencies are investigating his Pak terrorist connection. Mahakar is not the only suspect. NIA has detained several people from various cities of the country. Links with Jaish-e-Mohammad are also being investigated
If intelligence sources are to be believed, their links with Jaish-e-Mohammad are also being investigated. If the suspicion turns into reality, then once again the nexus of sleeping modules in West UP cannot be ignored. The way the UP ATS, NIA and IB team conducted the joint operation, it is clear that this matter is very serious. The ATS team says that we were involved in the operation, but the NIA is investigating the entire matter. One was let off because he was a minor, another was also questioned
The team also raided another house in Khiwai. Here a teenager was questioned for several hours. The team did not take the teenager along because he was a minor. The family of the teenager is not saying anything about this. The team also questioned another youth for some time. The families of both are avoiding saying anything. In the entire episode, Meerut Zone ADG DK Thakur says that the police has no information in this regard. The NIA team is investigating.
