The family was returning home one evening in the car from a dargah when they were stopped by a mob. The Hindu mob were yelling to the women to take off their burkhas and were saying that Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to come to this area. The family was cornered brutally by men and women and were attacked with sticks and rods which resulted in many severe injuries on the head and other crucial parts of the body. People who came to the rescue of the family had also been brutally attacked. The mob continued to attack, threaten and abuse in front of the police.
