As Mohammed Haroon Kasni stepped out of the mosque a group of people attacked him. And coaxed him to say ‘Bharat Mata ki jai’. On refusal of doing so he was slapped by them. He tried to explain to them that he wasnt a terrorist nor did he support terrorism but the mod paid no heed. Mohammed was targeted since it was easy to target him as such due to his physical appearance. Authorities had taken in the perpetrators.
