Video shows man calling for abduction, acid attacks, killing of Muslims; action sought
New Delhi: A video circulating on social media platforms has raised widespread concern across the country. In the clip, a man identified as Rishabh Ojha is seen making statements that call for the abduction, acid attacks, and killing of Muslims. He also claims to be holding a Muslim man in captivity and subjecting him to abuse, with an intention to kill him later.
The video was first shared on X and later reposted on Instagram and Telegram. In the recording, Ojha speaks in Hindi and describes acts of violence, including acid attacks, forced religious conversion, and killings. The video has reportedly received thousands of views, with several users responding in support.
In the video, Ojha speaks about what he calls a “new method” of targeting people. “Earlier we used to shoot them or cut them, there was no fun in that. Now the method has changed,” he says, describing acid attacks as a way to inflict prolonged suffering and force victims to plead or agree to convert.
He further claims that such an act is already underway. “One is already in my control. He suffers every day. Soon he will get release,” he says, using the term “release” to suggest death. Observers note that even if the claim is false, the statement amounts to a serious threat that warrants immediate investigation. In the same video, Ojha appears to challenge law enforcement, saying, “If you think you can harm me or stop me, then try.”
Civil rights organisations, digital rights activists and several social media users have condemned the video, calling the statements a direct incitement to violence and a threat to public safety. They have urged authorities to take immediate action, investigate the claims made in the video, and ensure accountability, warning that failure to act could normalise hate speech and encourage real-world violence.
