This was once Asya Bano's home, now a pile of broken dreams.

Three months ago, police accused her husband and 10 others, all Muslim, of having beef, prohibited in most Indian states.

The next morning, authorities bulldozed their homes, claiming they were illegal, built on What pains me the most is that I lost my daughter too. 16-year-old Zeenat died of pneumonia just weeks after their home was demolished.

After their house was broken down, they were reduced to sleeping in here.

They would cook food over on this side, they would sleep on this side, and when it rained and there was too much water coming in, they would go and find shelter somewhere else.

If they hadn't, my daughter would be alive.

Convinced Zeenat died because she had no protection from the monsoons.

Recently, there's been a rise in demolitions.

His sons merely accused of a crime, but the entire family pays the price.

It's why the Supreme Court is now stepping in to issue guidelines for the entire country to follow.
