Hindu Extremists Torture Muslim Man, Force Him To Eat Pork

The police identified the victim as 68-year-old Shaukat Ali who was forced to eat pork as "punishment" for allegedly selling beef.

Lahore (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 9th April, 2019) A Muslim man was abused and heckled for allegedly selling beef in Assam's Biswanath district on Sunday.

The police identified the victim as 68-year-old Shaukat Ali who was forced to eat pork as "punishment" for allegedly selling beef.

The incident came to light after two videos shared on Twitter showed the man sitting in knee-deep mud, begging for mercy, while the men around him spoke to him in threatening tones.

"Are you Bangladeshi? Is your name in the NRC (National Register of Citizens)?" a man can be heard shouting at Ali.

Police detained one person after a video of the man on his knees in deep slush, begging to let him go, was widely shared on social media.

Ali was injured in the mob violence and is being treated at a local hospital.
