On 25^th of February 2020, in broad daylight, a communally discharged crowd gathered around the SES Public School Karawal Nagar Delhi chanting ‘Jay Shri Ram’.  They targeted the school once they ascertained that it was a Muslim run school.  They used fire bombs and gas cylinders to break open the main gates.  Broken benches, burnt books, charred school bus, cars, computer labs and furniture — the scene that meets the eye inside the School is nothing short of a dystopia.  The rioters torched all belongings inside the school. The fire damaged the electrical base and  wall plasters of the school very badly.

 

The owner of the school Mr. Aas Mohammad while recounting the stories of the school told that on this fateful day, he was on the 3^rd floor of the school which is used by him as office cum- residence. He dialed 100 number several times but to no avail. It was Allah’s mercy that all of sudden a police van came there which proved to be an angel for him. The Police crew used ropes to alight him from the third floor and finally they rescued him to safer place.

 

The biggest relief was that children were not in the premise when this happened. What would have happened if that was the case," he told.  The case is registered in Karawal Nagar Thana in North East- Delhi.

 

The committee of the school approached Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind for reconstruction of the school and for provision of computers and other school requirements.  The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has reconstructed the damaged parts of the building and provided tiles for flooring and PCS for Eight Computers for labs.
