‘My
Intention
Was
Not
To
Hurt
The
Family’
The
maulvi
was
quoted
by
Mid-day
as
saying,
"A
lot
of
people
are
spreading
this
video
on
social
media,
where
my
statement
has
been
portrayed
in
a
completely
different
light.
My
intention
was
not
to
hurt
the
family.
In
fact,
one
of
his
family
members
from
Mumbra
contacted
me
after
watching
the
video,
and
I
apologised
to
them.
I
hadn't
even
heard
of
Danish
Zehen
earlier."
Why
Maulvi
Spoke
About
Danish?
"But
a
lot
of
people
were
complaining
to
me
about
how
youngsters
were
following
his
way
of
life
and
troubling
their
parents.
And
so,
I
said
all
of
that
at
a
program
in
Surat
on
December
28,
2018.
If
the
family
is
hurt,
then
I'm
ready
to
apologise
to
them
again.
I'll
also
file
a
complaint
against
those
circulating
this
video
for
their
own
agenda."
People
Wanted
To
Burn
Danish’s
Tattoos
Before
His
Burial?
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
the
maulvi
in
the
video
had
said
that
the
people
at
kabristan
denied
to
bury
Danish
as
they
wanted
the
tattoos
on
his
hands
burnt
first!
When
the
leading
daily
contacted
Kasaiwada
Kabristan
in
Kurla,
where
Danish
was
buried,
the
authorities
denied
it!
‘Nobody
refused
to
bury
his
body’
They
were
quoted
by
the
leading
daily
as
saying,
"This
is
not
true.
Nobody
refused
to
bury
his
body.
But
yes,
there
were
some
rumours
in
the
area,
which
were
untrue.
The
family
has
followed
all
due
procedure.
Looking
at
the
rumours
and
the
huge
crowd
that
has
gathered,
[outside
the
ground]
we
have
asked
the
local
police
to
deploy
someone
here."
