“That day, we feared we would be framed in a terror case and rot in jail for life.”
These are the words of Israfil, son of Basiran Bibi, recalling the incident at Anand Vihar Railway Station. Seventy-two year-old Basiran Bibi was heading from Delhi to West Bengal on 27 January. After her husband’s death, she was the head of the household, compelled to travel for ongoing SIR proceedings in West Bengal.
