The administration has sought damages worth Rs. 14.86 lakh.

According to The Indian Express, the Rampur district administration served identical notices to 28 people citing damages amounting to Rs. 14,86,500.

Police submitted videos/photos as evidence against 28 persons

The notices were served in line with a government order to recover damages to public property from those responsible as per an old Allahabad High Court ruling.

The police have submitted evidence against the 28 people in the form of video footage or photographs obtained from the media or locals.

The notice also seeks an explanation as to why the recoveries shouldn't be made.

Submit notice response within a week: Rampur District Magistrate

Notably, Rampur District Magistrate Aunjaneya Kumar Singh told TIE, "They have been asked to submit their response within a week, otherwise the process of recovery against them will be started."

Singh added, "Of the 28, a few have been arrested while raids are on to trace others. An accused and his family can submit evidence to support their plea that they've been wrongly booked."

Accused

'No money... How can we pay compensation?'

Zameer is among the 31 who was arrested in connection with the Rampur violence. His mother, Munni Begum, told TIE that she hasn't received a notice.

However, she claimed her son was wrongfully arrested from their Nai Basti home on Sunday afternoon.

She asked, "We don't even have money to arrange a lawyer for Zameer. How can we pay any compensation?"

History

Last week, 60 Muzaffarnagar shops were sealed after violence

Last Thursday, after violence erupted in Lucknow and Sambhal, CM Adityanath had said, " All properties of those involved in damaging public assets will be seized and auctioned to compensate for the losses."

Thereafter, 67 shops were shut in Muzaffarnagar as the police investigated why the shops were closed during protests on Friday and why a mob had gathered around in the shops' vicinity.
