Years after the 1987 #HashimpuraMassacre and #MalianaMassacre
Not much has changed for the survivors and the relatives of the people killed. The wounds are still fresh, the quest for justice is still an ongoing ordeal and they no more trust men in khakis

It took them precisely 2 hours to complete the task they had assigned themselves. At the end of those two hours, nothing stirred in #MalianaMassacre as people sat huddled together, gripped by fear as the stench of smoke and human bodies rose about them.

Those who ran out to escape the inferno were showered with gunfire by PAC men positioned on rooftops. Scores fell to the bullets.”

They PAC targeted Ms to kill as they were shot on the head.The most horrific incident was that 11 of 1 family were killed & their bodies thrown in well. Another six of a family were burnt alive while senior officers of the district were mute spectators.

Soon after the incident, there was some speculation in the press that a brother of a locally posted Major Satish Chandra Kaushik (prabhat kaushik )had died of gunshot injuries on in Mohalla Hashimpura. According to the report, Prabhat was an #RSS worker #HashimpuraMassacre

It was said that as a consequence of this personal tragedy Major Satish Chandra Kaushik engineered the #HashimpuraMassacre on the Upper Ganga and Hindon canals. To revenge the death of his brother prabhat kaushik ,who was an #RSS worker according to report

In 2013, Rai, who was heading the #HashimpuraMassacre investigation before the CID took over, met the 75-year old aunt of Major Kaushik. According to Rai, she called the killings “an ideal atonement by the Muslim community for the murder of her younger nephew”

More than a dozen witnesses testified before the CID that “Major Pathania was ordering people with a loudhailer to come out of their houses.” He was later issued several summons by the court, even a notice to the defence ministry in 2013, but never turned up.

Unlike #HashimpuraMassacre,where the then Gzbd SP made sure that a just FIR was lodged against the PAC men….law enforcement agencies were careful in registering a weak case in #MaliyanaMassacare
That is why justice remains suspended for the dead, maimed and broken in Maliyana

Army role was never investgd despite early case diaries mentioning the role of a Major linked to a pol leader

Those ‘behind the curtain’ have not been touched even after 30 years.

There was a #Congress cm in UP & #RajivGandhi was PM
