New Delhi: Following the polarising anti-Muslim mahapanchayats that were held in Palwal and Gurgugram by the Bajrang Dal in favour of the accused in killings of Rajasthan residents Junaid and Nasir in Haryana, two more suspected hate attacks have been reported from the area in which two people were injured.
In the first incident, Nadir, a resident of the Madokhra village, was attacked at Palwal Hathin crossing by a group led by the driver of the auto in which he was travelling on the evening of February 22. The group of people assaulted Nadir after ascertaining his religious identity, the family has alleged. Nadir, the victim, was left in some bushes after he was attacked. He was briefly treated at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi and has now been moved to a local hospital in his hometown.
Naseem Ahmed, kin of Nadir, said, “He was returning from his workplace. He was travelling in an auto and took the usual route he does every day. On the way, the auto driver claimed the vehicle is out of fuel and asked Nadir to get down. He was identified as a Muslim, after which he was assaulted and left there.” Akhtar Jamal, the father of Nadir, said, “He was attacked and left there to die. He is seriously injured now and is being treated at the hospital.”
