Patna: The anger of the youth against the Agneepath scheme is at the top. When there were incidents of city-to-city disturbances, Bihar emerged as the major focus of these protests. In Bihar, the protesters not only targeted railway stations, blew up trains and buses, but common traders also fell prey to them. In Bihar, goods worth lakhs of rupees belonging to common traders kept in parcel rooms have also been burnt to ashes in the arson by protesters at Danapur station.
Mushtaq Ahmed, a 32-year-old saree trader from Varanasi, also suffered losses worth lakhs of rupees in the arson at Danapur railway station. Mushtaq from Varanasi travels from city to city and puts up an exhibition of silk sarees. Mushtaq would hardly have anticipated that going to Patna in Bihar to set up an exhibition would cost him so much.
In fact, Mushtaq along with his brother had arrived at Danapur railway station on the evening of June 16 to set up an exhibition of silk sarees in Patna. Mushtaq had kept sarees worth around Rs 20 lakh in the parcel room of Danapur railway station. Mushtaq, while talking to the media, said that he was supposed to take the sarees from the parcel room of Danapur railway station on June 17. He was about to put up an exhibition of them in patna's planetarium. Mushtaq's plan remained the plan. On the morning of June 17, protests against the Agneepath scheme began in several areas of Bihar. The flames of Agneepath reached the capital Patna and protesters gathered in large numbers and stormed the Danapur railway station. The protesters set fire to the Farakka Express parked at the station and created a ruckus.
