Members of the Muslim community and relatives of Farzan at VS Hospital on Monday morning refused to accept his body after post-mortem examination unless their demands of arrest all seven accused and compensation to the family are met.
Dalit leader and Vadgam MLA Jignesh Mevani had also visited the hospital and joined the protesters. He said, “Time and again memorandums have been given to the Collector and the SP about violence in the area, but no action has been taken.”
