PATNA — In the aftermath of the deadly Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, numerous reports of attacks on the Muslims and Kashmiris have been reported across the India. In one such case, a local journalist from Bihar’s Gaya district, along with his brother, was brutally attacked by a mob of 20-25 people.
The journalist Danish was returning home with his brother after finishing work when they were intercepted by the mob. “There were around 20-25 young men who surrounded us and started beating us only because my brother was wearing a kurta-pyjama. We were struck on our heads and necks,” he said.
A video of Danish and his brother, soaked in blood, has emerged on social media platforms. It is unclear if the journalist has filed a police complaint, Siasat Daily reported.
