Group of people thrashed and abused a Muslim youth in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, accusing him of molesting women under the pretext of selling bangles. A video of the incident has been widely circulated on social media. In the video, several men can be seen beating Muslim bangle seller, throwing his wares on the ground and hurling expletives at him. Some of the attackers also snatched money from the victim. According to the victim, he was selling bangles in the Banganga area when he was attacked. “The accused first asked my name and started beating me once I disclosed my name. They also robbed Rs 10,000 from me and vandalised bangles and other material that I was carrying,” the victim said in his complaint to the police. A FIR against unknown persons has been registered on the basis of the victim’s complaint after verifying the veracity of the video. Efforts are on to identify the assailants from the video. “We have registered a case as per the complainant and are investigating but we would like to urge people not to react to social media posts that are communal in nature. At times incidents that have nothing to do with Indore are ascribed to the city. We are also keeping a watch in such social media posts,” Indore East SP Ashutosh Bagri told India Today.
