A staunch Hindutva group fanatic, known for his history of vitriolic hate and physical assault targeting members of the Muslim community on several previous occasions, was captured in a viral video snatching a plate of food from a destitute individual who had queued at a distribution event, asserting with callous indifference that no Muslim deserves to be served sustenance.

Bhupendra Tomar, the chief of the Hindu Raksha Dal, who is widely recognised by the moniker Pinky Chaudhary, said, “We will not give food to Mullahs, no matter who feels bad; no Muslim should eat,” while forcibly taking away the plate from the visibly distressed man.

He further instructed those present that “only Hindus should come,” in remarks that have drawn widespread condemnation for their overtly exclusionary and dehumanising tenor.

This latest transgression represents a mere fragment of Chaudhary’s extensive record of anti-Muslim incitement, which includes his prior arrest for orchestrating the dissemination of inflammatory slogans during a 2021 rally at Jantar Mantar.

Furthermore, he has frequently sought to disenfranchise the minority population through the propagation of baseless conspiracy theories, including a malicious and unfounded claim that Muslim soldiers had abandoned their duties on the battlefield.
