Riot casualties

On 5 September 1924, one Hindu shopkeeper, brother of a Dharm Sabha honcho, converted to Islam at the same mosque where incendiary speeches would be delivered four days hence. He thus became Abdul Rahman. During the riot, Rahman suggested to a fellow shopkeeper (Jai Ram), of Hindu faith, about converting to Islam only to be abused. An angry Rahman went to a friend (Spin Gul), obtained a rifle, and shot both Ram and his wife to death. Then he took hold of Ram's sons, forced them to recite the kalma, and imprisoned them in their own house!

Preliminary investigations held that Rahman's actions were driven by a failed extra-marital affair with Ram's wife but nonetheless they were enlisted as Hindu casualties of the riot! TrangaBellam (talk) 05:48, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kautilya3 Any idea on whether (and how) this can be incoporated into our article? I am of two minds on whether this is encyclopedic information or not. TrangaBellam (talk) 07:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tough one. We don't know whether it wa an act of persecution or a crime of passion. Let me go and read some more about it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:07, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How can this be an act of persecution? Rahman had converted to Islam five days before the riot started! TrangaBellam (talk) 10:37, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
