Hindu nationalists assaulted a 15-year-old Muslim student and forced him to chant “Jai Shree Ram”. They accused him of erasing “Jai Shree Ram” from the school wall and writing “Allah” on it. Despite his repeated denials and pleas, they coerced him into confessing to the act. According to the boy’s parents, the police initially refused to file an FIR, instead urging them to reach a “mutual understanding” with the assaulters. An FIR was eventually registered after a video of the incident went viral.
