FIR against 6 for barging into Kargil veteran's Pune residence

The Pune Police on Wednesday filed a case against seven persons for unlawful assembly after a Hindutva group allegedly barged into a house belonging to the family of a Kargil War veteran and accused them of being undocumented migrants from Bangladesh, the Hindustan Times reported.

The family claimed that a mob of about 80 persons allegedly affiliated to a Hindutva group forcibly entered their home on Saturday night and accused them of being “illegal” migrants.

Irshad Shaikh, whose elder brother Hakimuddin Shaikh served in the Indian Army during the 1999 Kargil War and currently lives in Uttar Pradesh, said that his family had been living in Pune for more than six decades, the newspaper reported.
