A minor Muslim, Abdul Fahad, faced severe brutality from a Hindutva mob in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh. The incident took place on 4 December while the boy was returning from school.
The 15-year-old was stripped of his clothes and brutally beaten with belts and other weapons. After the assault, the group forced him into a cold water pond, endangering his life in the chilly weather.
The brutal attack on a Muslim minor occurred in the Ramkola police station area of Kushinagar district. The youth became a victim of an act of brutality, sending shockwaves through the community.
The identified assailants, Nitin Madheshiya, Aditya Singh, Aryan Singh, Arjun, Yuvraj, and Chandan, are affiliated with Hindu Yuva Vahini, a right-wing organization.
Shockingly, the attack was also filmed by the group and shared on social media sites.
In the viral video, the assaulters can also be seen forcing the minor to lick their feet.
Fahad, who was returning from school, was subsequently taken to the Panchayat Bhawan on a motorcycle by his friend, where the said group assaulted him.
Aftab Bhat, the victim’s father, said to Maktoob, “Nobody knew about the incident until we saw videos surfacing on social media. He never told us about it.”
“He had been skipping school for a few days, and we discovered this video recently. When he explained the entire incident, he revealed that the group had threatened him, saying they would take his life if he disclosed the assault,” he said.
He added, “I fainted after seeing my son in the video. He endured severe brutality, and these assailants are still roaming freely.”
