A 62 Year old man was beaten and left unconscious on the road in sector 37 of UP’s Noida. The man was going to Aligarh to attend his niece’s wedding. While waiting for the bus he was called by 3 Hindu youths in a white car. When he went there they dragged him in the car and stripped off his pajama. They hurled anti-Muslim slurs at him, attacked his nose with a screw driver, beat him and even tried to strangle him with the towel they were wearing. They robbed him of cash and took his spectacles too. An FIR was filed and he was treated at home by a family doctor. This was not the first time he was attacked for his religious identity.
