"Shahnawaz Wagle died in the 1993 Mumbai riots. Was it an accidental death or cold-blooded murder?"
The Hindu : Opinion / Op-Ed : A father's long struggle for justice: Tahir Wagle has fought a relentless battle over 18 years. His dreams of making his teenage son Shahnawaz a merchant navy officer ended in a pool of blood outside his modest home in Mazgaon in South Mumbai on January 10, 1993.
While the police claim Shahnawaz was shot while being part of a rioting mob that morning and that he died later, Mr. Wagle and his family maintain he was killed by the police after being dragged out of his house. Shahnawaz's sister Yasmin was eyewitness to the event but the police refused to register a case.
