Ghousia Begum, mother of auto driver Abdul Raheem, said her son was dragged from home by the police Monday night. "He
is the sole bread earner of the family. I am a heart patient and I do not have the money even for my medicine. I am
not able to understand why we are being harassed and tortured like this. Where should we go for justice?"
Arifunnisa, another elderly woman, said that her son and a medical student Ibrahim Ali Junaid had Friday returned from
Delhi after attending a conference at the Jamia Millia Islamia and went to his hostel.
"He called from there to say that he was coming home but never reached home. On inquiry we were told that some persons
dragged him away soon after he made the phone call," she said.
Nusrat said her brother Zulfiqar was taken away from home five days ago. Zulfiqar, a sweetmeat maker, was the sole
bread earner for the family.
"I am running from one police station to the other to find out the whereabouts of my brother. I want to ask Chief
Minster Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy whether this is his government or the police Goonda Raj," she said.
Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee secretary Lateef Mohammed Khan alleged that 40 to 50 Muslims youths were picked
up and illegally detained by police since the blasts. The committee, however, released a list of 21 youths.
