3. On 1.11.84 at 9.00 AM we came to know that outside Sikhs are being killed and burnt and that their houses and shops are being looted and burnt. For this reason, we did not open the factory and remained in the house.

4. On 2.11.84 at about 5.30 AM a mob of 200 to 300 people came to our house. They were carrying in their hands iron rods, sticks, country-made pistols, revolvers, kerosene oil and white powder etc. They threw kerosene oil soaked burning clothes into our house.

They also threw white powder. They shouted from outside to us to come out from the house but no one went out. They mob then broke the wall of our house and came inside the house and they shot at all the family members, gave them blows and threw them down and burnt them. They looted the house and set it on fire after looting. Then they started searching for me. I ran from there.

I took shelter in a dilapidated building near soap factory in Kabir Nagar. That very day at 9.00 PM I went to the house of my friend there. From there on 9.11.84, when I went to Sachkhand Nanaksar Camp Indrapuri. There I stayed for two months.

These people had broken into our house and had brought the mob inside.

6. On 12.11.84, I went to register the report. Then SI Tulsi Dass went to call those people and brought them to the police station. At that time also Virender Singh was armed with a revolver. I told the SI but he did not pay any attention.

The SI forcibly made me write that I have no grievance against them and they did not do any damage to my house. I was mentally upset. SI did not care to take action against them.
