Horrific!! A mob of Hindu extremists viciously assault a Muslim boy for drinking water from a temple in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
The perpetrators know their violence has the tacit approval of the state, so they uploaded the attack on social media! pic.twitter.com/pkAgHrEzbe— CJ Werleman (@cjwerleman) March 12, 2021
One Twitter user commented, “First, a Muslim is lynched over beef, then over Jai Shri Ram slogan. And now beaten for drinking water in a temple. So much for sabka saath, savka vishwas when Muslims are being beaten for drinking water’. BJP has incentivized hate and violence!”

Next time you tell me “we must have dialogues with these sanghis”, pls note that I’ll be happy to do so only while the perp is strapped to a guerney in a jail cell with a needle up his arm.— Saket Gokhale (@SaketGokhale) March 13, 2021
