As the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the rural landscape of Raghunathgarh village in Alwar district of Rajasthan, a low hum descends on the front yard of Imran and Razeeda Meo’s rundown, one-story brick house. A group of locals are sitting together on the ground to break their fast during the holy month of Ramzan. But unlike the usual iftaar feast, the food is modest, and the gathering subdued. They consume small slices of oranges and wash it down with water.
For the past fortnight, the group has been sitting at the exact same spot, staging a sit-in protest, to demand justice for the death of Imran and Razeeda’s one-month-old daughter Alisba.
Alisba was allegedly killed during a police raid at her home on 2 March.
