Report: Shozab Muneer
Aligarh.A case has been registered in connection with alleged illegal occupation of a government Chak Road, removal of pillars, verbal abuse and threats to kill in village Sihali Jagir, under the jurisdiction of Hasanpur Police Station in Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh. According to the complainant, Rizwan Khan, son of Abdul Hameed Khan and a resident of Sihali Jagir, a government Chak Road is situated to the north, west and south of the land located in the village, recorded under Gata No. 059/4, measuring 0.829 hectares. The complaint states that the Chak Road had been opened on the orders of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Hasanpur and pillars had also been installed at the site.
According to the information received, the complainant has alleged that on October 8, 2026, at around 1 p.m., the named accused allegedly uprooted and broke the pillars using a JCB machine and illegally occupied the government Chak Road, thereby blocking the passage. It has also been alleged that when the complainant objected, he was subjected to verbal abuse and threatened with death. The complaint names Naveed, son of Ishrat; Khalil, son of Amjad; son of Sajid; and Manwa, wife of Naseer Khan. The complainant has requested the police to register a case against the accused and take strict legal action.
Police Action: According to a copy of the available complaint, a case has been registered in this matter under Sections 326(e), 352, 351(3) and 324(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The veracity of the allegations and further action in the matter are subject to police investigation.
Meanwhile, law student Amjad Ali, also known as Amjad Siwan, raised the question that if a student can be suspended and his education and fundamental rights affected merely on the basis of a case being registered against him, will the same rule also apply to Naveed Khan? Will Aligarh Muslim University administration also prevent him from entering the campus?
Amjad alleged that his educational future and fundamental rights had been affected on the basis of what he described as a false case. Raising this question, Amjad stated firmly, “The rules should be the same for everyone.” It is worth mentioning that Amjad Ali, also known as Amjad Siwan, has been facing suspension and a ban on entering the campus since last month on the basis of a case. Following his statement, a new debate has erupted on the university campus, and the matter has become a topic of discussion.
It may be noted that Amjad, a law student, was among those students who approached the High Court to save the land of AMU’s Riding Club. After he openly highlighted the AMU administration’s attitude regarding the Riding Club land, he was suspended a few days later.
