Assam: Madrasa run by ‘terror accused’ demolished in Morigaon

GUWAHATI, AUG 4: The Assam government on Thursday carried out and eviction drive at Jamatul madrasa in Moirabari in central Assam Morigaon district after Mufti Mustafa was arrested for his alleged links with Bangladesh terror outfit Ansarul Islam.

The Jamatul madrasa was dismantled on Thursday early morning by using bulldozer.

Talking to reporters, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “Out of the five terror modules busted in Assam since March this year, the Morigaon module in which two persons, including Mustafa, were arrested had used the most sophisticated communication technology and can be considered to be the most dangerous,”.

Sarma said the madrasa was razed under the Disaster Management Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

It had no permission from either the local panchayat or the district administration and was built on the land Mustafa had got as his share of his father’s property.

Sarma said the power connection to the madrasa was also found to be illegal and so the deputy commissioner after observing all the legal formalities ordered the demolition.

“After Mustafa was arrested his wife broke his mobile. “But the police managed to recover the motherboard and are carrying out further investigations,” Sarma said.

“The mufti had set up the madrasa with 43 students. They have been admitted to nearby regular schools by the district administration with the help of their guardians, Sarma added.

Mustafa was educated in Uttar Pradesh and Maharastra and had obtained a doctorate in Islamic law from Bhopal.
