Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt Wednesday said he had never seen people's solidarity like the one following the death of Muslim youth Rizwanur Rahman here as the director called on the mother of the victim at her residence in the evening.

"In my whole life I never experienced such a situation when all people, despite their different religions, raised a single voice for humanity and justice. I am feeling really great to sit at the feet of Rizwanur's mother today," Bhatt said during his visit to the Tiljala Lane residence of Keshwar Jahan.

Rizwanur, a 30-year-old computer graphic designer, was found dead beside a railway track here with his head smashed on Sep 21, barely a month after marrying Hindu girl Priyanka Todi, daughter of industrialist Ashok Todi.

Ashok Todi and three Indian Police Service (IPS) officers are in the eye of a storm for allegedly intimidating the youth to end the marriage.

"It's a very good sign when all people unanimously react on a single humanitarian issue. It surely indicates that our country and its people are going on the right track," he said.

"If this trend continues across the country no one would not dare to commit any crime of such nature in future," said Bhatt, who has in recent years turned to social activism.

When he was informed about West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya's decision to remove all five tainted cops - whose names have figured in the case - from their posts, he said: "it's a victory of the people.

"I personally think if the police officials are really guilty they should come and apologise to Rizwan's mother," he said.
