Video shows Hindu youth harassing Muslim family during Holi ‘celebrations’ in UP
Bijnor, India: A disturbing incident unfolded during Holi celebrations in the town of Bijnor, located in Uttar Pradesh.
A widely circulated video shows a group of individuals engaging in harassing a Muslim man and two women, forcibly dousing them with water and applying colors despite their visible discomfort and protests.
The video, lasting 1.22 minutes, portrayed the motorbike carrying the trio being abruptly halted by the celebrators, who proceeded to subject them to unwelcome actions.
Amidst the distressing ordeal, one of the men in the group smeared dark colour across the face of the man, while others vocally expressed their jubilation, extending Holi greetings.
As the women voiced their objections, an individual in the group justified their actions by citing a purported 70-year-old tradition.
Eventually, the trio was released from the ordeal, allowing them to depart, though not without the instigators chanting religious slogans as the bike sped away, echoing cries of “Har Har Mahadev” and “Jai Shri Ram”.
