“I couldn’t see my mother one last time before her death because I was denied parole. This is a denial of basic Human Rights. My mother passed away when I was in Prison.

“We have been living here for 28 years. This is our land; our entire life has unfolded here. We grew up here. I got married here 12 years ago. We have all the documents, Aadhaar cards, ID cards, PAN cards, and ration cards, and we have voted in elections too. We have been facing harassment for the past three years, and yesterday they cut off our electricity and internet,” says Amir, whose house was among the hundreds of homes demolished in Kogilu village in Bengaluru’s Yelahanka. The demolition in a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood, where poor Muslim families have been living for nearly 30 years, was carried out alleging illegal occupation, leaving thousands homeless.
