Telangana: Muslim Man Assaulted, Paraded Naked For 'Insulting' Saffron Flag

The reprehensible incident occurred as a response to the victim's posting of a video 'insulting' the bhagwa or saffron flag in Sangareddy of Telangana.

A Muslim man was assaulted and publicly paraded naked by a mob in the presence of villagers in Sangareddy of Telangana. The mob also tried to set the man's private parts on fire. This reprehensible incident occurred as a response to the victim's posting of a video insulting the bhagwa or saffron flag.

In the video, the Muslim man, Abbas, hailing from Nagal Gidda village in Sangareddy District, displayed disrespect towards the majority community in the village by inserting the saffron flag with 'Om' into his pants in a derogatory manner. The video gained widespread attention, leading to him being forcibly taken away from his home.

Later, the mob physically assaulted him and paraded him naked. The mob also chanted 'Jai Shri Ram' while assaulting the Muslim man. Some of them also attempted to the man by putting his private parts on fire.

Upon receiving information, the police intervened and rescued Abbas. Villagers filed a complaint against him, alleging that he had hurt the sentiments of Hindus. Consequently, Abbas was booked under IPC sections 153(a), 295-A, and 505(2).

In response, Abbas lodged a complaint against the villagers for assaulting him. Subsequently, the police filed charges against the locals under IPC sections 341 (Punishment for wrongful restraint), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 505(2), and 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation).

Further, investigations are on.

Last year, a mob in Gajwel town of Telangana's Siddipet district assaulted a man and paraded him naked on the road after he allegedly urinated near a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The man, a local resident, was caught by locals urinating near the statue.

The crowd reportedly thrashed him severely, paraded him and handed him to the police. The incident also led to a clash between groups from different communities, which left one person injured.
