1. 1.11.1984, I took scooter and left my house at 8.30 AM I got a passenger from Seelampuri who had to go to Nand Nagri. At about 10 O'clock when the passenger alighted at Nand Nagri, a mob comprising of 100 – 150 men surrounded me and started brick batting my scooter. Some men forcibly dragged me from my scooter and started abusing me. One man forcibly cut my hair with scissors.
