Mumbai: Organisers of the protest rally at Azad Maidan could face a stiff bill for the riots that broke out three weeks ago. A preliminary report compiled by the Crime Branch estimates that property worth Rs 2.12 crore was damaged in the fracas, and the investigating team will now submit a letter to the collector's office, which will then forward it to the organisers asking them to pay for the damages caused.
The August 11 protest rally that ended in vandalism and destruction of property was organised by Madinatul Ilm while Raza Academy supported it and participated in it. "If the organisers fail to pay for the damage caused, their properties might be attached, although it's a very lengthy process," said a Crime Branch officer, on condition of anonymity.
Apart from this, the BMC has also sent a bill of Rs 3 lakh to the Mumbai police commissioner pertaining to the damage of the Amar Jawan memorial, which will also be recovered from Raza Academy. The BMC has also expressed its willingness to register a separate FIR for the damages to the memorial, but cops are yet to take a decision on this matter.
