4 June 2021, the incident took place in India's state of Uttar Pradesh in Bhojpur district. The name of the boy who was thrashed by a mob is Zeeshan. Zeeshan is a minor boy who belongs to the weaker section of society. Most probably he was going to attend the Friday salah in mosque while going mosque he was stopped by a mob and was forced to chant Jai Shri Ram when he refused to repeat those words sacred to the Hindu religion, he was then thrashed brutally with an iron nail which was then engraved in his hand, his motorcycle was destroyed and when he started bleeding excessively he was then left to bleed till death by the attackers. While leaving him the mob said "Left him here bleeding till he dies", Zeeshan described the incident in a video released by him as his testimony.
The police did not pay proper attention to this case and first refused to file an FIR, when pressurized by the people the Police files an FIR and ask the victim to recreate the incident and asked Zeeshan to say Jai Shri Ram with focused intention.
This incident is not the first one, thousands of such hate crimes and mob lynching are happening in India since 2014, all the victims either belong to the Muslim community or the untouchables Hindus called "Dalits".
Let's pray may the Almighty protects our brothers in Islam from the enemies. May they conquer and overpower them by the will of Almighty soon.
