Bhopal: In yet another incident highlighting the growing insecurity of Muslims in Modi’s India, a 24-year-old Muslim youth was beaten to death after being dragged out of a train by Hindutva goons in the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh state.
According to Global Mirror, the victim, Ali Khan, a resident of Chhindwara district, was travelling with three friends on a vacation trip when a dispute over a seat broke out with another passenger.
Reports said the argument escalated after the passenger claimed links with a Hindu right-wing organization and intimidated Khan. Although fellow passengers initially intervened and defused the situation, the dispute took a deadly turn later in the night.
Khan’s companions said that when the train stopped at Bordehi railway station in Betul district around midnight, a group of men chanting Hindutva slogans forcibly dragged him out of the train and brutally assaulted him on the platform.
