"What I expressed on the internet was my personal view. But I realized many people were hurt by it. The written apology I gave was for hurting people and not for posting my opinion," Shaheen told TOI. "I don't have an inclination towards any political party. I just want peace and harmony."
Both Rinu and Shaheen deactivated their Facebook accounts, but late on Monday, Shaheen discovered a fake account in her name which had 120 friends in an hour. "I decided not to be on Facebook after my original account got hacked," Shaheen said. "If we go back to the site, it will only fan the controversy," added Rinu.
The girls have been friends since college. "I had an interview scheduled later this month for a course in sound engineering in Chennai. But with restrictions on moving out of the city, I don't know how I will appear for it," Rinu said.
Incidentally, two of Rinu's friends had commented on the post which she shared from Shaheen's page.
"After Shaheen got into trouble over her comment on Sunday evening, a common friend called me up and advised I should immediately delete the post from my page. I thought he was joking, but deleted it anyway," Rinu said. Late on Sunday, when the two were summoned to the Palghar police station for tendering a written apology, they were never briefed about the possibility of an arrest. "I had never seen the inside of a police station before. An unknown woman even slapped me twice," said Rinu. "We haven't been given a copy of the apology we submitted in writing. The police told us we should stay inside for our own safety, until the angry mob outside the police station left. Accompanied by our parents, we waited till 2.30am," said Shaheen.
"We haven't yet decided whether we will pursue any legal action against the Sena for lodging a complaint against Shaheen over an innocuous post. We will consult our lawyers. There are so many derogatory comments on the internet, nobody cares about those," said her uncle, Dr Abdul, whose hospital was ransacked by vandals the same day.
"We suffered damages between Rs 18-20 lakh, including an image intensifier machine. Who will compensate us?" Dr Abdul said, adding the vandals admitted they shouldn't have trashed the hospital.
Shaheen's mother Nazma said she wasn't very active on Facebook and was horrified at her daughter's arrest. "I had been keeping rozas for Muharram when the arrests happened. It was a big shock. Ever since her release on bail, Shaheen hasn't been eating well," Nazma said. "We only want justice," Rinu concluded.
