Siddiqui says Rehman quit the mosque in December 2002 after he declined to raise his monthly salary from Rs 1500 to Rs 2500. “He had just gotten married then and said his responsibilities had increased. I declined to give a raise and he quit. After that, I saw him a couple of times on his bicycle long ago. His arrest comes as a shock to me,” he adds.
After Thursday’s arrest, Rehman’s 75-year-old father Asra is in Delhi to consult lawyers. Police in Shyamali admit Rehman has no criminal record. “We checked all the records but there is not a single case or complaint against him,” said Brajpal Singh, Station House Officer of Shyamali Police Station.
