The Muslim woman was not sparred too. She was also ridiculed for riding with a Hindu man. The woman was asked if she is not ashamed to go with a Hindu man. She was made to get off the bike. She was forced to give her family’s phone number. Later, after knowing that she is a married woman she was insisted to give her husband’s number. Over the phone, the men from the mob have berated her husband and have mentioned that due to his impotence the whole community is ridiculed. While the husband tried defending they have asked him if he knows the intentions of the Hindu people. When asked for the address of their residence, the woman’s husband refused to give it. She was forced to travel in auto and was said they are concerned about the burqa.

Not a single Hindu stopped in support of the guy, if only 2/3 person stopped and stood from the guy side the situation would have been different.

However, has not taken place for the first time. A similar incident took place in Telangana a few days back. A Hindu Dalit boy faced a more or less similar situation for giving lift to a Muslim classmate.
