Several accounts of police brutality against protestors condemning the remarks on Prophet Muhammad by suspended BJP spokespersons have surfaced on social media. After the protests that erupted in many parts of the country, turned violent, police personnel unleashed their batons on those accused of rioting, apart from firing bullets at the protestors.
Two young Muslims were killed and several were injured, in Ranchi, after police opened fire at the protestors, in an attempt to “control the mob”.
Situations were out of control, especially in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, where several videos surfaced on Twitter where cops can be seen brutally assaulting Muslim men, including minors.
Here are some of them: Muslims who were accused of ‘rioting’ and detained in Uttar Pradesh were brutally thrashed by the cops. The video was posted by Dr. Shalabh Mani Tripathi, who is a BJP MLA from Dwarika. In his Tweet, he wrote, “‘Return Gift’ to the Rebels”.
