Visuals have emerged of a 45 years old Muslim man being paraded through the streets of Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur amid chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’, with his little daughter clinging to him and crying desperately for her father’s safety.

The disturbing visuals show that the man is assaulted in the presence of his child, and hit even while in custody of the police. Before the police breaks up the frenzied mob, the man is also seen being hit on his head by what appears to be a black helmet, the force of which causes him to fall on the ground.

According to a report by NDTV, the incident took place 500 metres from where the right-wing group Bajrang Dal held a meeting, in which they claimed that Muslims in the area were attempting to convert a Hindu girl in their locality. The incident is reported to have taken place right after the meeting.

Three accused – Ajay, Aman Gupta and Rahul Kumar – have been arrested in connection with the case. As per a statement by DCP Raveena Tyagi earlier, the police and PAC force were deployed to control the situation.
A case was filed on the complaint of the man against some known and unknown persons.
