Kushinagar: A Muslim man, Azharuddin, was tied up and violently beaten by a mob in Kubera Bhual Patti village, Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, following a dispute over parking, according to local reports.

The incident occurred under the Vishnupura police station area. The clash began when a resident, Ritesh, asked Azharuddin to move his pickup vehicle. The argument escalated, and Azharuddin allegedly stabbed Ritesh during the altercation. In response, relatives and friends of Ritesh reportedly surrounded Azharuddin, tied him with ropes, and assaulted him brutally. A video of the attack has gone viral, sparking fear and outrage among local residents.

Witnesses described the attack as “inhuman,” saying Azharuddin was treated “like an animal.” Even Ritesh’s mother’s pleas to stop the beating were reportedly ignored. Residents and community members have demanded strict action against the attackers.

Police officials noted that tensions escalated due to the communal identities of those involved. Rajeev Singh, a police officer, stated, “We are investigating the matter and action will soon be taken against the culprits.”

The incident has drawn condemnation from Muslim groups and activists. The Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind demanded immediate arrests, emphasizing that “equality before the law must be upheld, or it encourages mob violence.”

Azharuddin’s family remains in shock following the assault, and investigations are ongoing.

Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.

The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.

According to police sources, Naveen was married and has an eight-year-old son. The couple are now divorced.

Police said Naveen suspected that his former wife, who is employed at a showroom in Padil, was moving closely with Devi Prasad Acharya, a mechanic working there.

Based on this suspicion, Naveen allegedly went to the house of Devi Prasad Acharya on Friday night carrying a deadly weapon, created a scene and issued threats.

During the incident, Devi Prasad Acharya reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline, following which Naveen fled from the spot.

While escaping, Naveen is said to have fallen from his two-wheeler near the Jokatte Panchayat area. Local residents who rushed to help noticed a deadly weapon on the vehicle and immediately alerted police.

Officials from Panambur Police Station rushed to the spot, took Naveen into custody and brought him to the station.

A case has been registered based on the complaint filed by Devi Prasad Acharya, and further action is under way.
