Two relatives fail to meet Kafeel family because of media presence?

Bangalore, Aug 3 (UNI) ''Kauser'', a compact house of Kafeel Ahmed, the prime suspect in the failed Glasgow airport attack who succumbed to burns in UK today, in Banashankari area of the city was locked to the outside world today.

A battery of media persons, both electronic and print, had gathered since morning to talk to parents and a sibling of Kafeel and seek their reaction over his demise and whether the body would be brought her for burial.

But the house was out of bound for not only the media, but even to some of the relatives and even police officers! The long wait proved abortive for the media persons who one after the other slipped out of the street after the futile exercise. Their effort to make the inates of the house to speak to them went in vain as Kafeel's Father Dr Maqbool Ahmed shout at them many a times "go away", "go away".

Till 1130 there was no sign of anybody calling on the family in person or family coming out to talk to waiting media persons.

However, at about 1140 hrs one person went in front of the gate and tried to get attention of the house inmates to open.

However, when he failed in his attempt to convey his condolence, Mr W S Basheer, a businessman, told reporters that he had came to offer my condolence. "However bad a person may be, we have to offer condolence after his death. This custom prevails both in Hindu and Muslim religion. Butt I have to return since they did not open the door because of your (media) presence," he complained.

At about 1430 hrs, a person said to be relative of Dr Ahmed Sr, alighted from an autorickshaw and tried in vain to enter but the doors were not opened. When media persons tried to talk to him to know whether he was a relative, he started shouting "allow us to have our own privacy I say, it is bad thing happened but why you fellows surrounding us like this, leave us to live in peace.

However, one reporter wanted to know his name but got only absuses in reply and not the caller's name.
