Islamists took to the streets of various cities across the country and carried out violent protests against Nupur Sharma on 10th June 2022. In the violence that erupted during the protests in Ranchi, two stone-pelters were killed in the police firing to control the violent mob. A video of the mother of one of the rioters has now appeared on social media in which she has said that she is proud of her son who laid his life for Islam.
The video appears to be an interview conducted by channel AajTak of the mother of the rioter who was shot dead.

In the video, the lady said, “My little boy is martyred for our Islam. Today, this mother is proud that he has laid his life for the Prophet. He has attained martyrdom. I don’t have any sorrow.”
She further says, “Islam zindabad tha, Islam zindabad hai, Islam zindabad rahega” and that no power in the world, including the government can stop Islam. In her comment on being proud of her son “sacrificing his life for Prophet Muhammad”, she further ended up calling the Indian state and the police as “kafirs”. She said, “The Kafir who killed my son should be punished. Make sure the Indian government hears this”.
It is notable that two rioters succumbed to their injuries on 11th June 2022 in Jharkhand’s Ranchi after protests erupted in the city on Friday. The rioters who died due to bullet injuries were identified as Mudassir alias Kaifi and Sahil. The woman in this video is said to be the mother of Mudassir who caught a bullet in the police firing during the riots.
During the violence in Ranchi, vehicles were torched and vandalized and heavy stone-pelting took place. A senior local Police officer was also injured during the violence along with some other police personnel. As per reports, the rioters also opened fire during the violence. Police had also fired in the air besides resorting to lathi-charge to control the mob which came out on the road after Friday prayers and pelted stones and shouted slogans. Several people were injured during the course of the violence.
