Babri mosque litigant Iqbal Ansari 'threatened' to withdraw case
|
[DAWN] One of the main litigants of the Babri mosque case in India, Iqbal Ansari, was allegedly physically assaulted at his residence in Ayodhya on Tuesday, The Wire reported.
The Wire quoted Ansari as saying that he was asked by two people to withdraw the case. The alleged attackers threatened to kill him if he failed to fulfil the demand. The two alleged attackers were warded off by Ansari's security personnel.
The Wire report, citing Press Trust of India, said that the two attackers, a man and a woman, came to Ansari's house on Tuesday afternoon.
“The woman introduced herself as Vartika Singh and claimed that she was an international shooter. They asked me to withdraw my claim from the dispute, threatening that she would otherwise shoot me,” said the report, quoting Ansari.
Faizabad Superintendent of Police Vijay Pal Singh told PTI, the two have been "detained by police" and he will "let them know" when a case has been filed.
The development came as the Supreme Court of India was hearing responses by two people for allegedly threatening Rajeev Dhavan, who is representing the Sunni Waqf Board and other Muslim parties in the dispute.
