New Delhi: In a shocking incident, an Muslim man was lynched to death in Kanpur’s Jana Village by a group of communal forces without any provocation and called him a ‘Pakistani terrorist’.
Few days ago, a man wearing a jeans a shirt was initially questioned by a group of men after they came to know that he was a Muslim.
The frenzied mob started beating him up because he didn’t utter a word and wasn’t able to explain his motive of being at the village.
The 42-year-old victim screamed “Allah, Allah”, while he was attacked by at least 15 people, following which one of the mob members said he could be a Pakistani terrorist trying to hide in the village.
The man was taken and assaulted mercilessly outside a temple. He was then dragged towards a bank of Ganga River and drowned to death.
Nine persons have been arrested by police for carrying out such a brutal act. However, a few locals allege the man was killed by neighbouring villagers and the ones held were innocent.
The incident comes amidst uproar over the killing of 50-year-old Muslim man by communal forces near Delhi over rumours that his family had been storing and consuming beef at home.
