SAHARANPUR — A Muslim man from Nagla Jhanda village in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur district has alleged that a group of men claiming to be personnel from the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) forcibly entered his home, assaulted him, and fired two gunshots while attempting to detain him.
According to Waiz Khan, the incident occurred on June 27 at around 1:19 pm, when six to seven men arrived at his residence, identifying themselves as ATS personnel from Deoband. Khan alleged that the men entered his house without permission and attempted to take him away.
When he resisted, the men assaulted him and fired two rounds, endangering his life. His family immediately contacted the Uttar Pradesh Police emergency helpline and later submitted a written complaint at the local police station.

Khan alleged that despite filing the complaint, the police have not registered a First Information Report (FIR).
In a video shared on his Instagram account, which was later widely circulated on social media, Khan further alleged that he was pressured to withdraw his complaint and threatened after pursuing the matter. He has appealed for a fair and impartial investigation and sought protection for himself and his family.
Khan also claimed to possess CCTV footage of the incident, along with the registration numbers of the vehicles allegedly used by the men who entered his home.
The allegations have drawn attention on social media, with several users demanding an independent inquiry and questioning why an FIR has not yet been registered.
One social media user wrote: “In this country, it is no longer the guilty who are punished. Instead, innocent people are humiliated, harassed, and made to suffer.”
At the time of publication, neither the Uttar Pradesh Police nor the Anti-Terrorism Squad had issued an official statement responding to Khan’s allegations or confirming whether any inquiry had been initiated.
Clarion India could not independently verify Khan’s claims. Further details are awaited from the authorities.
