Delhi Violence: This Sikh father-son duo transported dozens of Muslim neighbours to safe locations

Northeast Delhi has been under the scanner of communal riots since last week and in this violence, more than 40 people have lost their lives, 200 have been injured.

In such a distressing situation when most people lost faith in humanity, this Sikh man decided to stand out and help their Muslim neighbours by transporting them to safe locations.

Mohinder Singh and Inderjit Singh used a Bullet motorcycle and scooter to transport somewhere between 60 to 80 of their Muslim neighbours to a safe location.

The father and son duo say they had sensed the situation was going out of control in the Hindu-dominated neighbourhood of Gokalpuri in northeast Delhi and started moving their terrified neighbours in batches to the nearest Muslim locality of Kardampur, one kilometre away.

Mohinder Singh (53) said that his son was on the Bullet motorcycle and he was on the scooty, and they made around 20 trips each from Gokalpuri to Kardampur in one hour. When it was women and children, they took three to four of them at a time. When it was men and boys, they took two or three at a time. For some of the boys, they tied Sikh turbans to conceal they were Muslim.

“I did not see Hindu or Muslim,” said Singh, who runs an electronics store and is a father to two children.

“I just saw people. I saw little children. I felt like they were my children and that nothing should happen to them. We did this because we all should act humanely and help those in need. What more can I say?” he said.

For the uninitiated, Gokalpuri saw some of the worst violence in the three days of rioting, which has left almost 40 people dead. Head constable Ratan Lal died of a bullet injury that he sustained here. Muslim shops, houses and a mosque were torched and looted here. The Muslims who fled are yet to return.
