Jharkhand: Muslim man dies after being beaten up on suspicion of theft
He was also made to chant Jai Shri Ram by mob
Seraikela-Kharsawan (J'khand): A 24-year-old man, who was brutally beaten up here last week on suspicion of being a thief, has died, police said Monday.
The incident took place on June 18 when Tabrez Ansari was returning along with his two friends from Jamshedpur, around 30 km from here, in neighbouring East Singhbhum district.
Some villagers caught them and accused them of stealing a motorcycle at Dhatkidih village in Seraikela-Kharsawan district, police said.
Though Ansari's friends managed to escape, he was tied to a pole and beaten up with sticks through the night, they said. He was then handed over to police by the villagers, Superintendent of Police Karthik S said.
Police said on June 21, Ansari was rushed to the Saraikela Sadar (district) Hospital after he complained of uneasiness. The following day, he was referred to the Tata Main Hospital in Jamshedpur, where he was declared brought dead, they said.
One person was arrested on Sunday in connection with the incident, police said.
Ansari's wife has lodged a complaint in which she has named several people, a police officer said.
Asked about a video of the incident in which the mob is purportedly heard forcing Ansari to chant some slogans, Karthik S said a case has been lodged against the accused for inciting "communal sentiments".
"Papu Mandal, has been arrested and an inquiry into the incident is on," the SP said.
When Mob came to know that he is Muslim, they forced him to shout Jai Sri Ram and Jai Hanuman and thrashed him brutally.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
