Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Provides Rs 1 Lakh to Kin of Two Killed in Ranchi Protests

Maulana Madani also expressed hope that the committee formed by CM Soren will conduct a fair inquiry and submit a report soon to ensure that the culprits are brought to justice.

The JUH said in a statement that Asrarul Haq Mazahiri, president of Jamiat Ulama Jharkhand, Dr Asghar Misbahi, general secretary of Jamiat Ulama Jharkhand, and other officials are constantly monitoring the situation in Ranchi.

The statement added that legal assistance would also be provided to the affected persons when required.

Protests over the controversial remarks against Prophet Muhammad made by two former members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), had erupted in Ranchi following Friday prayers. The police had subsequently fired shots to quell the protests.

Two critically injured people were brought to the state-run Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) with bullet injuries between 11.30 pm and midnight on Friday, and they died during the course of treatment.
