NEW DELHI — An elderly Muslim man was allegedly assaulted, verbally abused and threatened with death by a Hindutva woman and several other right-wingers at Delhi’s Central Park, according to viral videos.
The footage shows the woman confronting the man and accusing him of using “objectionable language” during an earlier argument. The confrontation then escalates into a physical altercation.

In the video, the woman is heard saying that “Hindus are no longer weak,” while brandishing a slipper, grabbing the man’s collar, pulling his beard and repeatedly threatening him to kill.
Social media posts suggest that the man was targeted because of his religious identity. However, the motive behind the assault is not clear.

The Delhi Police have not issued any statement on the incident. It also remains unclear whether a formal police complaint has been lodged or whether an investigation has been initiated.
The videos have triggered widespread condemnation online, with users urging the authorities to investigate the incident and take appropriate legal action. People also questioned the woman’s conduct.
One user wrote, “This is the reality of Muslims in India today. Hindutva hate knows no limits. We stand with our oppressed brothers in India!”
Another user commented: “This woman is pulling the shirt of an elderly Muslim man, bringing a slipper near his face and threatening him, saying Hindus are no longer weak and fear no one. She pulls his beard, and when he tries to stop her, four more people come and attack him. Even if an argument had taken place between them, can this kind of threat and violence ever be justified?”
A third user wrote, “This woman’s behaviour suggests deep prejudice, as though she believes it is acceptable to grab the collar of any Muslim and act aggressively. Such conduct should not be tolerated.”
Further details on the incident are awaited.
