NEW DELHI – A Hindutva mob brutally assaulted two Muslim youths accusing them of transporting buffalo beef. The incident happened earlier this week in the Uttar Pradesh city of Ghaziabad, not far away from the national capital.
According to media reports, Ashraf and Aamir, both from Delhi, were transporting the beef in their vehicle which overturned near the ABES Engineering College in the Crossing Republic area of the city, causing the stuff to spill onto the road.
Members of Hindutva extremist groups, Bajrang Dal and Hindu Raksha Dal, swiftly descended on the scene. They accused the duo of transporting meat from banned animals without verifying the facts.
Despite Ashraf and Aamir’s desperate protests and pleas for mercy, the mob tied them up and unleashed a brutal assault, with bystanders joining in the assault. A chilling video of the incident, capturing the mob’s savagery, quickly spread across social media, drawing widespread condemnation.
The Hindutva extremists eventually handed the battered men over to the police. However, a subsequent investigation, aided by veterinary experts, confirmed that the meat was not from banned animals. It was legally being transported from Hapur in Uttar Pradesh to Delhi. Despite this confirmation, the authorities buried the meat as a precaution.
