Most residents of Kharak hail from working class communities, manage small businesses, or are engaged in domestic and construction work. Many are self employed.

Locals, most of whom are Muslims, have also alleged police brutality amid the demolition drive.

We bring you their testimonies from the ground to understand what transpired.
