New Delhi: In a disturbing incident in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, a Muslim youth named Rihan was allegedly assaulted and forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ by a group of individuals. The incident has sparked outrage and drawn attention to the growing number of hate crimes targeting minorities.
The attack reportedly took place when Rihan was confronted by three men who physically assaulted him and demanded he chant the Hindu religious slogan. When he resisted, the situation escalated, leading to further violence. The attackers forcibly coerced him into chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram,’ a slogan that has increasingly been used as a tool of intimidation against religious minorities in India.
Following the incident, local authorities took swift action, arresting three suspects involved in the assault. The police have stated that they are treating the matter seriously and are conducting further investigations to determine if there were more individuals involved.
The incident has triggered widespread condemnation from civil rights groups and political leaders. Many have called for stricter measures to curb such religiously motivated hate crimes and ensure that communal harmony is maintained in the region.
This incident is not isolated. Similar attacks have been reported across various states, raising concerns about the increasing communal tension and religious intolerance in the country. The need for stronger legal frameworks and proactive community initiatives has never been more pressing as these acts of violence continue to tarnish India’s social fabric.
