After a 14-month-old baby was raped in a village near Himmatnagar town of Sabarkantha district on September 28, near Ahmedabad, non-Gujaratis especially migrant workers from states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar are running back to their native place.

The exodus came after it was revealed that a labourer hailing from Bihar, Ravindra Sahu who also worked at a local ceramic factory was the accused in this case. The toddler who belonged to the Thakor community enraged the community members and they are attacking non-gujaratis in a bid to avenge the torture faced by the infant.

The attacks started after hate messages against non-gujaratis started surfacing on social media platforms. Hundreds of migrants accepted that while they had witnessed even the Hindu-Muslim riots of 2002, they had never experienced such a large magnitude of fear among themselves.

Many of these workers who had been living in Gujarat for decades were seen rushing into buses for a 24-30 hour long bus ride as they feared for their lives. One of the labourers before boarding a bus to his hometown in Madhya Pradesh told PTI, "We were attacked by Thakor Sena members last night at Kalol town of Gandhinagar. This is an injustice to us. That is why we are going back to our native places as we feel unsafe here."

Director General of Police Shivanand Jha said such attacks have taken place in Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Sabarkantha, Patan and Ahmedabad districts in the last one week and 170 people have been arrested in connection with the incidents.

On a usual day, hardly any buses leave for long-distance routes. However, due to panic and fear of rape backlash, around 20 buses with 80 passengers stuffed into each one of them were ready to leave the state on Saturday, the Indian Express reported.

Pintoo Singh of Satyam Tomar Travels, an agency that has been operating private buses on these routes told media, ¡°A bus would leave for UP, Bihar, or MP once in two days, with perhaps 25 passengers. But now, I am having to accommodate 80 or 90 people in each bus. And 20 such buses are leaving every day.¡±

On the other hand, Congress MLA Alpesh Thakor, who heads the Kshatriya Thakor Sena appealed to his members who are involved in alleged attacks to maintain communal harmony, further adding that non-gujaratis were also their ¡®brothers¡¯.

18 FIRs had been lodged so far in different districts of Gujarat though Jha has asserted that the police will not tolerate such activities at any cost. ¡°We have instructed local police to increase vigil at factories and (housing) societies having a good number of non-Gujaratis. We are also keeping a watch on social media messages.¡± he was quoted as saying by PTI.

A 27-year-old Manju Singh who earns a living by doing paint jobs in Gandhinagar narrated her ordeal while talking to IE. Singh¡¯s bike was stopped by a group of seven men on Thursday evening who asked him where he was from. His intuition led him to lie to the men, saying that he was from Rajasthan. They kept insisting Singh to tell the name of his district. When he mumbled something and they were convinced he was not from M.P, U.P or Bihar only then he was allowed to leave.

Meanwhile, just after Manju had left, the group had burnt a vehicle on the very same spot. A 200-strong mob, allegedly led by Thakor Sena members, stormed a factory near Vadnagar town of Mehsana district on October 2 and thrashed two employees. Following the incident, 20 people were arrested on charges of rioting, an official of Mehsana Police had said.

Almost 100 people were booked under section 153(a), which deals with punishment for promoting enmity between groups on the basis of religion, race or language for the Borisana incident, the police said.

The baby was discharged on Saturday and was reported to be out of danger and in a stable condition. Both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress have been appealing to the members to ensure that peace and harmony prevail in the state and that the incident shouldn¡¯t be given any political or caste-based colouring.
