It was not one Zakaria whom they arrested branding as a terrorist. It was a whole family, relatives and friends who were ostracised after the blatant lies which came out in the mainstream newspapers, fed by the police.

Dear Jisha, I never knew you, nor did you know me. You were probably a “usual” student, pursuing your studies, dreaming of a better future for yourself and your country.

They were mercilessly thrashed by the police and have also been charged with Section 153A (inciting communal sentiments), along with the arrested students. The girls and the minors have been given bail, but the others have been remanded to 14 days judicial custody! This is sheer abuse of law and must be condemned and resisted. The local MP and MLAs should intervene in getting the charges removed. How can students be charged for inciting communal sentiments when they are simply protesting for their fellow students in HCU?
