Exactly two year’s before on
September 8 in 2006, Malegaon had shaken by the lethal serial blasts
in Hamidia Masjid. Since then the terror still goes on for many people
in the town.
Even as he was wrapping up his prayers
inside the Hamidia Masjid in the Qabristan, he heard two loud explosions
one after the other. Rushed outside of the mosque, he saw the pieces of
the human bodies scattered all over the pathway leading to the gate of the
Qabristan. It took him a while to realise that these were actually the
bomb blasts that had taken place inside the mosque killing scores of
people, most of them being the children. Still to come out of the shock,
he heard another explosion. The blast this time at Mushawerat Chowk few
hundred meters from the Qabristan, had also taken some of the lives which
survived in the Qabristan minutes before. By this time the news of the
blasts that had taken more than thirty lives and sent over 300 people to
the hospitals had spread to the whole town like a wildfire.
This is how Nuroo Seth, a contractor with
the Civic Body, recalled the deadly serial blasts that shook Malegaon on
September 8 in 2006. “After my father expired a year before I became a
regular in Friday prayers at Qabristan”, he said. “Back home hence my wife
was worried, her worries escalating even further as she failed to get me
even on my cell. Her body already stricken by Chickoon Guinea, this time
got the stroke in her brain. Never recovered from the attack, she finally
succumbed on May 8, 2007.” The death, exactly eight months after the
blasts, went totally unnoticed by the authorities as well as the media.
The death of Nooru Seth’s wife however is
not an exception. There are probably scores of others in the town who are
thus indirectly affected by the deadly blasts that occurred on this day in
2006. And two years into the serial blasts, the terror for them it seems
just goes on. “Top in this list are the “listed relatives of the victims”
that have failed in convincing the state for a just compensations for
their dead and the injured”, said Shafeeque Ansari who had lost his son in
the blast.
On the other hand, anxious as CBI is yet to
complete its investigations, not far behind in this list are the relatives
of the accused, in jail waiting an early verdict on their faith. “We have
appealed to the National Human Rights Commission to intervene to bail out
at least Zahid Ansari on humanitarian ground who despite being 600
kilometers away from the town when the blasts took place in Malegaon has
been shown as one of the planters in the ATS charge-sheet”, said Advocate
Mujeeb Ansari.
Although the faith of the accused now rests
in the court, Malegaon is perhaps the only place in the list attacked by
the terrorists where not only the relatives of the accused but the victims
also are hell bent on believing that those arrested are nothing to do with
the blasts. “This cannot be a handiwork of any local person”, Dada Bhuse,
the local MLA had reportedly said after the blasts.
