Muslim Man Beaten To Death In Bihar, Video Points To Cow Vigilantes

Mr Khaleel's dead body was recovered from the bank of the Burhi Gandak river on Friday evening​

Patna: A disturbing video of a young Muslim man in Bihar being harassed by self-professed cow vigilantes has caused a stir on social media after local media reported that he was allegedly beaten to death and his body buried in a ditch. Some reports claim the assailants tried to burn the body by dousing it with petrol and setting it on fire. They then allegedly sprayed salt on his body and buried it so that it would decay faster.

In the video, Mohammad Khaleel Alam, a Janata Dal (United) party member from Samastipur district can be seen pleading to his attackers with folded hands to spare him. The assailants, not visible in the video footage, can be heard forcing the victim to disclose the locations where cows are slaughtered and name the people involved in selling beef.

They ask him how much beef he has consumed in his life and if he fed it to his children as well. They questioned him on whether the Quran instructs him to consume beef, to which he replies that it doesn't.

The video, loaded with hate speech and expletives, has been circulated widely as another incident of hate crime against Muslims. The local police, however, deny the allegation and claim it's a diversionary tactic to cover up a murder.

NDTV cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Bihar's Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav tweeted a Hindi news clipping of the incident late last night and attacked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

"Law and order have completely disappeared under Bihar's NDA government. A Muslim youth who was himself a leader of the JD(U) was beaten, burnt alive and buried. Nitish Kumar should tell us why such incidents keep happening in Bihar. Why are people taking the law into their own hands?" he tweeted in Hindi.

Mr Khaleel's dead body was recovered from the bank of the Burhi Gandak river on Friday evening, four days after his family lodged a missing person's report.

According to local police, the victim's family members filed a report on February 16. For the next few days, they kept receiving calls from the victim's mobile number asking for money. The caller claimed that he had borrowed ₹ 5 lakh and threatened to sell his kidney if the family delayed the payment.

On February 19, his body was recovered from the river bank where it was buried in the sand. However, on Tuesday, the local police received a video where he is being asked about his role in cattle smuggling.

The police have claimed that this video was recorded just to divert attention and give a communal colour to the murder.

One sided genocide of Muslims isn't possible in India. Their numbers are too high. Maybe pan India riots in which Hindus and Muslims will die if things get worse.

The fascists want to Christians to convert to Hinduism. They never talk about exterminating Christians.

Sikhs are seen as martial sect of Hinduism. Although Sikhs don't consider themselves as Hindu. I don't think the Sanghi Nazis have problem with them.

Jains fill the coffers of BJP/RSS. Many of them support Hindutva. Amit Shah is a jain who pretends to be a Hindu.

Actually number is very therefore conventional genocide is impossible. The real strategy is to put so much pressure on Muslims, so that they are compelled to do ghar wapsi.
The main theme is, all browns were hindus, and should be hindus again.

Most Muslims won't abandon their religion. Ghar Wapasi has been a total failure.

Ghar Wapasi can work with Christians. Because many of the recent converts are lower caste Hindus.

There will be no genocide. There will be mutual destruction in India if the state orchestrates an anti Muslim pogrom.

If the fascists stay too long in power, then there will be another partition of India on religious lines.

I don't think so. Which a bigger Power is dividing then it should be one or two partitions. But when people fight, they divide countries in many parts.
Second is Indian case.

Ghar Wapsai is/was for far right theatrics. It is not a real movement
