An Indian police officer hailed as a 'hero' for saving a Muslim man from a furious lynch mob has received death threats in the wake of his actions.
A clip showing Gagandeep Singh, an officer in the northern state of Uttarakhand, saving a man accused of attempting to convert his Hindu girlfriend to Islam went viral this week after being shared on social media.
In the footage, Mr Singh can be seen shielding the man from a violent crowd who are attempting to beat him despite the officer's protection.
