Hindu men were caught slapping and harassing three Muslim fakirs (ascetics) who were begging for alms in Uttar Pradesh’s Degur village in Gonda area.
Videos shared on social media show the Muslims being forced to do sit-ups and chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’.
“They wear the clothes of sadhus but they will eat biriyani with this money,” one of the assailants is heard saying.
Another Hindu man, armed with a large stick, accost the Muslims and demand their identification cards. Hearing that they weren’t carrying any, the perpetrator calls them “jihadis” and “terrorists”.
“Just show us your Aadhaar, or we will thrash the stuffing out of you… All of you are terrorists… Carry your Aadhaar at all times,” he says, according to NDTV.
One of the perpetrators has been arrested, the police have said to NDTV.
