Dear readers,
This is one incident that happened in Pune, sharing news on same below.
Was quite surprised to read a good number of communal and racist comments under the comments section of this news.
What the guy did was not right, agreed, but it was definitely not that intense in nature that they had to kill him.
They could have just prosecuted him under some section and given him a warning.
There are more heinous crimes than this that are reported in India each day, where the accused go scot-free, wonder why this guy "caught attention".
There is certainly a bad preconceived notion about muslims in India.
Techie beaten to death in Pune, 7 men of Hindu outfit held.
PUNE: A 28-year-old software professional was bludgeoned to death allegedly by seven persons with suspected links to a Hindu outfit near here, police said on Wednesday.
The murder of Shaikh Mohasin Sadiq, who hailed from Solapur and was a resident of Hadapsar, on Monday night sparked tension in the area, they said.
The trigger for the attack was apparently uploading of derogatory pictures of warrior king Shivaji and late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on Facebook, which led to a protest bandh on Sunday.
Police have arrested seven persons in this regard under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and 147 (rioting) of Indian Penal Code.
They are said to be linked to Hindu Rashtra Sena. Sadiq worked in the IT department of a textile firm in the city.
He was thrashed with sticks at Bankar Colony by the accused and succumbed to his injuries during treatment at a nearby hospital, police said.
Two other youths too had been attacked and injured in stone throwing at the same spot on the same night, according to police.
Police said the case was handed over to Crime Branch and they have appealed to citizens not to believe or spread rumours as the situation is peaceful.
Security has been beefed up in the area.
