A youth named Murtaza attacked policemen at Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur district of Uttar Pradesh and was later arrested by the police. After the arrest of Murtaza, the police are interrogating him and during the interrogation many big revelations have been made. Murtaza was very much influenced by Zakir Naik and used to watch his videos. A debate was going on on the ABP news news channel regarding this issue, in which Muslim scholars were also present.
During the debate, the anchor asked Muslim scholar Atiq-ur-Rehman that you are answering Murtaza’s poison from the Parliament of Religions? Responding to this question, Muslim scholar Rehman said, “The fire is equally on both sides and we all have to do the work of extinguishing this fire together. If you want to remove a community from the sidelines, it will not happen. Our Ulemas are trying and when the matter of Ajan came up, our Ulemas went and met the Police Commissioner.
Divorce taken soon after marriage: On the other hand, the father of Murtaza’s first wife told the media that, “My daughter was married to Murtaza Abbasi in 2019 and soon after that my daughter got divorced because of those people. The reason for the divorce was domestic as his mother used to harass our daughter. Murtaza was a fine boy, a chemical engineer and we got married after seeing him.”
The father of Murtaza’s first wife further said, “He came to us only twice and in September 2019 we had brought our daughter from him and after that both of them got divorced on mobile. The police had come, what we have told you (media), we also told the police. We don’t even know anything about him, because we have no touch with Murtaza.”
At the same time, Murtaza’s father says that, “He is not mentally well. He is battling depression since childhood. His medical was also done. Due to some incidents she believed that the police were behind them. He had no plans and did so because of his present mental state.”
