Shame ON INDIAN POLICE & GOVT
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Mumbai/Is-sporting-a-beard-in-Mu...
MUMBAI: A 42-year-old Muslim civil engineer was bundled off to a police station, where he was detained and grilled about his identity for over four hours and then let off with an advice not to sport "such a long beard", after he was picked up for his "suspicious movement" in front of the Israeli consulate on Monday afternoon.
Mohammad Saleem not only had to spend more than four hours at the police station and take two hawaldars to his residence by taxi—to get his identity proof documents—and treat them to soft drinks and tea but also had to undergo "extremely humiliating" questions.
Saleem, working for a private construction firm, had gone to the Earnest House I-T office to submit some files on his employer's behalf. He finished his work and came out of the building and was looking up some numbers on his new cellphone when his troubles started. Saleem did not know that the neighbouring building housed the Israeli consulate. "I was checking my new phone when a person came up to me and asked me who I was. He was joined by others who took me back to the I-T office to check if what I had said was true," he added.
It was only later that he realised that the persons who had got hold of him were from the Israeli consulate. "An Israeli, too, was there and security staff took my cellphone to check if I had taken any picture," Saleem told TOI.
But, despite nothing amiss being found, the security staff called up the Marine Drive police and Saleem was taken to the police station. It was here that Saleem learnt that sporting "such a long beard" in the vicinity of the Israeli consulate was something that could land an Indian citizen in trouble.
"I requested the policemen repeatedly to allow me to make a call but they did not allow me. They recorded my statement, took my residential address, my office address and then allowed me to make one call to my employer who spoke to the cops on my behalf," Saleem added. "What was more offensive was that a person from the Israeli consulate and a consulate security person abused me in front of the police officers," he said.
Israeli consulate-general Orna Sagiv was in Bangalore and said she did not know of the case. "The cops will possibly be able to give you more details," she added.
Two cops then took Saleem to his residence in a cab to check if he really stayed in Mumbai and it was only after they returned to the police station and gave him a clean chit that he was allowed to leave.
this is not only of the story of saleem...more means thousands of muslims young are now in prison in india
...but they dont know, what they done the wrong......
after years of imprisonment they wiill be freee....
but on that time they lost their valued life in side the jail.....
but saleem is lucky man be he get back his life...
now the indian facist police are killing the poor innocent muslim young....then they announces some "terrorist" are killed by fighting.....
this the real picture from india...
Why everybody is jumping on rakesh? He has done nothing wrong. He posted a news which he found in Times of India which looks interesting for him. I understand the position of Mumbai Police but it is really funny to see that an Indian is abused by the security staff of the consulate of another Nation in INDIA.
Why...Oh Why...do we try to show our Nation down? People who find faults with everything in their nation are not better than terrorists. I can understand the journalist who tried to fill up his column with sensational news that he thinks appeals to some people. But why reproduce it here? What is the point...Rakesh?

Elics, was that comment for me. I couldn't make out whether you mis-spelled my name or meant drama. If that was for me, then thank you and shut up to you too.
Pajju --- u poda, don't act as a mod, we know you better, sala apnay aap ko hamesha mod show karta hain :P

"downfall of indian journalism to lower level or what else.
I big SHUT up to you and all supporting racism in world
Exactly ajmani...Its only the people of MUMBAI knows what does it really mean to live in a constant fear of terrorist attack after 26/11 especially...
Shame Shame Puppy Shame ! :(
HEH
Shame on you for puting Jamaica as your nationality,

No harm done. Being proactive is always better than to face the consequences.
change it or I will ask Mod to edit
All QL members please note for the last couple of days many people posting will be irrelevent,what do u mean ??
Soniya, i respect you and your answers always
general suspicion is FINE; protection is Better then regret later! Election card or ID card, driving license would be sufficient to prove....I know several thousand muslims wearing beard in Mumbai; nothing wrong in following the laid down procedures incase of genuine suspicion.
he is taunting me and not u, if i am not wrong, YVR2
yv2r, r u taunting me??? i don't think i've involved myself newhere in useless topics..or has never even tried to hijack ne thread..ok..u can check my TRACK record...
Irrelevent answer is due to irrelevent thread with irrelvent topic, if police and security officers are doing their duties, why one should make an issue and Indian journalism has reached the rock bottom now.
hhhmm.. i got ur motive before but rest were not interested to divert themselves from this sensitive issue and hence continued posting..
just to croo 10,000 points
to make sensitive issue to light issue, because, people are tying to create an issue out of nothing especially religious matters, and lot of innoncent muslims in India who are majoritily illeterate will react to this and lot of other people here in this forum as well react and discuss very seriously for such matters, infront of security of the nation religion should not be brought in. so i want to neutralise the thread and to hijack this thread so i asked.
hms, r u ok??
hms, y r u asking me about the schedule of next match here??
is the temperature today in Doha ??
it was in Bin Omran and not in Bin imran ( TYpo error)
Exiledsaint,
Particularly innocent people with long beards standing in front of the Israeli consulate browsing their phones ;)
Israel should move thier embassy in not so populated area, Like USA embassy in Qatar is now moved, earlier it was in Bin Imran
Sad story, but he is probably not the only one around the world that gets arrested for no reason.
when is argentinas match next ??
rakesh, its not shame but would be term as PROACTIVE measures..ok
Mumbai is always under target by terrorists..Its gud that mumbayites themselves r playing vital role to eradicate terrorism from their state..There is no shame at all..
are u joining us in QLVG distribution of water and juices
to make Arien cool, that is required, give me on too.
disgusting is the title chosen by the poster!
rakseh ql.. are you dead? go and read the readers comments in that news page you P-brain. you wil understand what Indians has to say on the idiotic report.
Had he been the real terrorist then? I think they are doing good job.
ArieL is right !
Ariel meet me today i will give you fresh Chilled Coconut Juice...:)
lol
Saleem is such an innocent victim... he didn’t know that there was a (usually very visible) consulate in front of him and nearby an office that he was told to go.... poor guy trapped by annoying police...
may be routine security checks, that is okay, abusing should not be there.
Khattak exactly bro, there are some silly idiots in this forum, who hunt for something to cut n paste. they just wana post something , has no clue or opinion on the issue . AND they never show up on the discussion.
the real A holes.
Arien...cool down man...nothing to worry...:)
Drmana said it.
It can happen to anybody anywhere. Nothing to blame the Indian Police or the Government. But, the Israeli Consulate's Personnel shouldn't have abused him.... it was beyond their domain.
Is that really happened in mumbai?? ohh, how come i wasn't knowing nething on this?? let me find out first..
WTF?? rakesh stop cutting and pasting every attempt by the Indian medias to sensationalise every small issue.
This would happen to any one anywhere, but not necessarily getting reported everywhere like India.
Its for our own security, and it should be carried out. Police usually dont hug kiss you and ask questions if you are a suspect. They will be rude and I think they should be ruder.
India as a country has such liberal laws which makes many faarkers do crimes and live free.
I want to hear what faarkin point you are trying to say posting this
ditto drmana.
Mumbai has seen too much heartbreak. So a little "extra" precaution shouldn't be such a big deal.
who are killing people mercelessly,instead of harassing innocent.
he's lucky to get a clean chit, wat else he want more?
Shame on you for being a racist ! :(
Ok done...next.
drmana..good one...:0
They were just taking the required precautions, whats wrong in that? Every citizen should cooperate with police for such. There was no need to mention religion here.
Now the police are being blamed for questioning and investigating about a person. If something happens, they would be blamed for not taking precautions.
Safety is the responsibility of everyone in community not only police and everyone should cooperate for it as much as possible.
What assholes.
