Ranchi, June 13: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi is likely to visit Ranchi to meet family members of the two deceased who lost their lives in the police firing during a violent protest on Friday.
Sources said that Owaisi may visit Ranchi via Mumbai. In the violence, around six to seven persons were injured. Besides, some police personnel were also injured. So far Ranchi police have lodged around 25 FIRs and around 24 persons have been detained.
At Gudri, under the Lower Bazar police station, hundreds of people hit the road on Monday when police restrained four Maulanas to hold a meeting at the office of Imarat-e-Sharia and took a youth in custody for questioning.
Police had tough times justifying its action. While the policemen were saying that any meeting during the enforcement period of section 144 of CrPC is prohibited, locality residents were not convinced.
