A 31-year-old Muslim man, who runs a biryani shop in a market in north Delhi’s Burari, was forced to shut it down on Diwali evening, after being intimidated by a man, who claimed to be a part of a Hindu right-wing outfit.
DCP North, Sagar Singh Kalsi, said that a First Information Report (FIR) in the matter under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 295A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) has been filed. The police are yet to zero down on the accused.
The incident took place around 6.30 pm on 4 November 2021, and a 2.46-minute-long video too has been shared with the Delhi Police.
The owner’s younger brother who runs the shop with him, on condition of anonymity, told The Quint, “We did not make a police complaint or a PCR call. The SHO paid a visit, but I have still not given a complaint copy… Hum panga nahi lena chahte hai (We don't want to take a risk).”
In the video, the man questions the shop owner and other workers, “Dukaan kaise khol rakhi hai? Tujhe pata nahi hai aaj Hinduon ka tyohaar hai, aaj Diwali hai… Jama Masjid hai kya yeh? Total Hindu rehte hai yaha pe (How can you keep the shop open? Don't you know that today is a festival for Hindus, today is Diwali... Is this Jama Masjid? Total Hindus live here).”
In language loaded with expletives and communal slurs, the man further asks, “Teri Eid waale din agar teri masjid ke aage main suar kaatu toh tujhe acha lagega? (Would you like it if I butchered pigs in front of a mosque on the day of your Eid?)”
At the time of the incident, the 31-year-old owner and his employees were present in the shop. They closed the shop at the time as they didn't want to run the risk of any trouble.
The brother of the victim informed The Quint that after they shut the shop, neighbours and shopkeepers intervened to stop the harassment.

“We have not faced any trouble since I opened the shop here in 2014, and have opened it on all festivals. This was the first time something like this happened. Everyone is scared but a few Hindu neighbours and shopkeepers intervened and made the person who was intimidating my brother and employees go away. They stood by them like a rock.”

The next day, when the biryani shop opened again, a Hindu neighbour, who is a property dealer in the area, showed up in solidarity.
The victim’s neighbour told The Quint, “All shops are open on all festivals so why single out one just because of the religion of the shopkeeper? He has only opened the shop. He is not forcing anyone to consume meat. We asked that person to leave and not trouble him. We are here with our brother, that’s why I am in the shop today.”

In the 2.46-minute-long video, the camera pans towards the crowd, and the intimidator can be heard propagating anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, saying: “Humaare Hinduo ko dekho! Sab soye huye hai… Jaag jaao, yeh saare love jihad karte hai humaare area mein aake, humaari behen betiyo ko Rahul bann ke… Aise phasate hai yeh ladkiyo ko (Look at our Hindus. They are all asleep... Wake up, these people do love jihad after coming to our area, they go after our sisters and daughters calling themselves Rahul... This is how they trap girls)”
A day after the incident, when it was brought to the notice of the police, DCP (North) Sagar Singh Kalsi said, “As of now, no PCR call or complaint has been received at the Burari police station, however, facts are being verified. Legal action will be taken as per law.”
The accused identified himself as Naresh Kumar Suryavanshi, and the victim's brother and Hindu neighbour told The Quint that he said he was a part of a Hindu right-wing outfit. A senior police officer said, "We are in the process of identifying the accused as of now."
The shopkeeper said that the SHO asked for a written complaint, which he refused to give. “He reassured us that we are safe, and that if there’s any trouble, we should get in touch with him. If this happens again, we will go to the police but as of now, I don’t want any more trouble.”

Asking to close a shop is worst then killing a person... Al hur bur logic??

Ignored my point, I didn’t ask or say which one is worse, you’re bringing a article from June 2016 to this thread, what correlation does your post have to this post? plain and simple diversion tactic.

Chill dude, there are thousands of muslims running Biryani restaurants, if one such incident is worth a thread then I remember in my hometown a Hindu lady was attacked by Muslims for running a Jhatka meat restaurant. I don’t even think street violence requires such threads.

How business will flourish if people gets offended easily? Lets see how FDI, especially for SMEs come to India, if this trend continues.

The SHO paid a visit, but I have still not given a complaint copy… Hum panga nahi lena chahte hai (We don't want to take a risk).”

Technically, this is acceptance that Muslims are afraid and alienated. They believe that politicians in Dehli, and courts/police in Dehli will not favour them. Whenever such sentiments rise, "Muslim Leagues" follow. Such as before 1937 elections, ML won a single seat.

nope. But why create controversy?. If public was facing difficulty, police can vacate the place, but why hindus did their? and on top, celebrating as a 'victory' of religion?

If you wish to learn truth, then this quint is nothing but a hit n run job media portal.. M 100% sure this is well played script were both party are financed by quint who is in return financed by geroge loras to do such kind of hit n run job.. In 1947 peaceful interchange of people was happening which gave headache to gora @ss.. So gora @ss decided to throw pig heads in masjids n blame hindus for the act, while throwing cow heads in mandir n blaming muslim for that.. Soon riots were all over the place.. At that time too source were foreign financed media houses..

i understand that, I never said that this thread is right or wrong, I was just asking him what was the meaning of his post, he could’ve posted anything but he decided to post something totally unrelated.

Ok, I understand whatever you said, but I never asked anything in regards to 1947 etc, that could be true, most definitely, but what did your original post have that responded to the matter in hand, it’s as simple as that, idc about the biryani shop etc. yes both incidents are wrong, I just wanted to know why you posted something that’s totally different.

There's no script, the dharami shared the video on social media. It went viral because other dharamis support it. They're proud of getting businesses shut down, people assaulted and lynched and places desecrated. They will lie to your face since they are cowards, but the fact is that they hate us.

Just another day in incredible,diverse and sickular India.
Offtopic:
Indian Muslim chefs(some Hindu chefs as well) make some of the best biryani in this world.

 

[-=virus=-]

must be some random drunk or something, the shop is still open, neighbours helped, the police helped.

there's thousands of small biriyani shops all over Delhi/NCR and they do good business.

In incident in Bharat policemen helped minority men, in Pakistan policemen killed minority men. Delhi police is under bjp though..

How does this work. ? If it's the younger brother of the owner than we all know who he is.
