\"\"Jaipur: A 17-year-old Muslim boy was brutally lynched by a Hindutva mob in BJP-ruled state of Rajasthan, India, after he returned from a Muharram procession.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the victim, identified as Shahrukh, was stopped and attacked by more than a dozen individuals while he was on his way home in Churu city of the Shekhawati region. Family members said the mob surrounded him and launched a violent assault without any provocation.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses reported that bystanders did not intervene. \u201cPeople were watching, but no one stopped them,\u201d said one local resident. \u201cThe attack was so brutal \u2014 it was heartbreaking to witness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entire incident was captured on CCTV, which clearly shows the minor being mercilessly beaten by the mob.<\/p>\n

Shahrukh was rushed to DB Hospital by locals, but doctors declared him dead on arrival. Initial medical reports confirm that he died from severe internal injuries sustained during the attack.<\/p>\n

The incident has triggered outrage within the local Muslim community. Shahrukh\u2019s family strongly believes that the lynching was premeditated. \u201cThis was not just a fight,\u201d a family member said. \u201cShahrukh had no enmity with anyone. This was a planned murder. We demand justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The killing has once again highlighted the alarming rise in anti-Muslim violence across India under the patronage of Hindutva forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
