Lisari Gate, where violent clashes broke out during the protests against the amended Citizenship Act on Friday, now wears a look of shock, despair and mourning. At least three persons from the area lost their lives in the firing and stone-pelting. When tragedy struck, one of them had been planning for his daughter’s wedding and another to welcome his baby to this world. The family of Zaheer (40) — a resident of Meerut’s Jaali Wali Gali in Lisari Gate area — his wife Shahjahan and Sahana sat in a corner wrapped in a quilt. His family asks what wrong has he done to have lost his life to a bullet. His elder brother Mohd Shahid said, “He had already finalised the match for his only daughter and had plans to conduct the wedding in March. But who knew that such a tragedy was waiting?” Hardly 500 metres away from Zaheer’s house, another family is in mourning too. Asif (30) — a resident of Baadal Wali Gali in Lisari Gate — has left behind an inconsolable five-month pregnant wife and three young kids.
