Just three kilometres away from the Chief Minister’s residence in Bhubaneswar, a violent Hindu mob targeted two Muslim youths, subjecting them to a brutal assault, tying them with ropes.
The perpetrators subjected the victims to a harrowing physical ordeal, all the while chanting the slogan “Jai Shree Ram.”
Irshad Ahmed, a 24-year-old employed in the hide and skin industry, said that he and his uncle, Mohammad Abuzar, were subjected to a mob assault when they halted their truck transporting goat carcasses.
