The students were beaten over allegations of love jihad

A group of men, faces covered by handkerchiefs and masks, beat up two Muslim students inside the campus of Mahaveer College in Surat. The video of the attack has been shared multiple times on social media.

The men, who claimed to be activists of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal, thrashed the two students over allegations of ‘love jihad’. However, the college management has denied the charges.

The three-minute-long video showed the men raining blows and kicks on the student as others stood around. As teachers intervened, they dragged him out, while continuing to thrash and beat him.
