LUCKNOW: Murtaza Abbasi, who's accused of attacking two PAC jawans outside Gorakhnath temple, suffered ragging and humiliation during his stint at IIT-Bombay, his father told interrogators on Sunday. Murtaza's remand ends on Monday when he will be produced in court.
Sources said, father of accused Munir Abbasi disclosed his son wanted to quit BTech at
IIT and return home.
In the second year, he left the hostel and began staying with his father in Mumbai. "He would stay awake all night and cry. He had no friends and this continued for years," his father told the ATS personnel.
Sources also said Murtaza was not cooperating with investigators and sleuths are awaiting the report by psychological experts. ATS also summoned Murtaza's uncle, Dr Khaled Abbasi, but he cited his advanced age and illness to skip questioning.
Earlier, the IIT-Bombay graduate had told interrogators that he wanted to pursue computer science to help radicalize individuals and highlight the injustice meted out to minorities.
