Ever since the Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, attacks on Muslims—especially Kashmiri Muslims—have continued to take place in different parts of the country. From violent to verbal assaults, they have been facing continuous attacks not just from Hindutva militant groups but from civilians as well.
In a disturbing video circulating on social media, two Kashmiri shawl sellers were seen being brutally assaulted by members of the Bajrang Dal in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand.
Two to three men are seen verbally abusing and beating two young men, who are visibly scared. The situation has worsened, with police, instead of helping the traders, asking them to leave the vicinity.
A video circulating on social media, posted by the X handle @TheVoK_official, captured the chilling scene of goons openly beating and abusing the Kashmiri shawl sellers, demanding to see their identification.
However, after the issue was raised by various civil society groups, the Uttarakhand Police arrested three people in the matter.
DGP Uttarakhand, Deepam Seth, said that the Uttarakhand Police had taken cognizance of the incident involving the assault on Kashmiri shawl vendors by three youths on Mall Road. All three accused have been arrested, and legal proceedings have been initiated against them.
