Police are now trying to pressure us and show that no one barged into our house,” Shaikh, who works in the transport sector, said.If there were any discrepancies in the documents, the police would have taken coercive action, he said.”But since all our documents are genuine, they are now asking us to stay quiet,” he claimed, adding that he told the officers they could provide a proof of their Indian citizenship dating back to 400 years.
