As reported in the ANI, the victim named Mujiburrehman was travelling in a passenger train from Bareilly and was harassed by a few miscreants near the Rajghat station. Reportedly, the perpetrators started harassing him, threw his skull cap and then made him smell something after which he lost consciousness. Later, he woke up at a different place and realized that his money and mobile phone were missing.
Mujiburrehman said: “I was going to the madrassa on June 18. I purchased a train ticket for Bareilly. Some boys harassed me and threw my skull cap. They also beat me.”
A complaint has been registered against 8-10 boys and investigations are underway. “Mujiburrehman informed us that some youth harassed him near Rajghat station while he was travelling in a train on June 18. He gained his consciousness next day at some other place. We have registered a case based on the complaint,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek said.
This comes days after the Aligarh case which shook the entire nation in which a 2-year old girl was kidnapped and brutally murdered due to some altercations between the accused and the victim’s family. The city witnessed a highly sensitive atmosphere and communal tension after the matter came to light as the victim was a Hindu and accused Muslims. There then might be a possibility of a connection between the existing communal tension and the recent attack on the Muslim boy. Further investigations will reveal the reason of the attack.
