According to the report, the incident took place on the Shikohabad-Kasganj passenger train when the family was on its way back from attending a marriage ceremony. The family was attacked by a mob of 30-35 people who broke down the emergency window of the train and also reportedly hurled abuses at them and screamed 'Kill them. They are Muslims.'

The family have also alleged the mob of groping the women, tearing their blouses and salwars and snatching their jewelry.

An FIR has been lodged under IPC section 395 and based on the video of the incident, special operation group and other police teams have detained three men and are questioning them, the report adds.

The incident comes in the wake of growing intolerance and violence towards the Muslim community, amidst the intensified approach by the central government to ban cow slaughter in the country.

In a separate incident, a man was thrashed by locals in Nagpur's Bharsingi area on suspicion of carrying beef on Wednesday. The man was later identified as a BJP worker who claimed that the meat he carried was mutton and not beef. The meat sample has reportedly been sent for forensic analysis.

The attack comes barely two weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned violence in the name of cow protection.

"Killing people in the name of 'Gau Bhakti' is not acceptable. This is not something Mahatma Gandhi would approve," PM Modi had said during his speech to mark the centenary of the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad on June 29.

But seriously, I think it is also a matter of how bad law and order in India really is. Yes these were Muslims being attacked. But the larger problem is of mobs of dozens/hundreds/thousands gathering to inflict this violence.

If we go back in time, the Genesis of this in independent India started right alongside independence, during the Partition riots. After that, in incident after incident, mob violence in one cause or the other remained unchecked.

Anti-Sikh riots, Bhagalpur riots, post-Babri riots, Mumbai Riots, Godhra, Gujarat riots, Khairlanji massacre, Muzaffarnagar riots, and now Bengal and the spare of beef lynchings. We seem to treat them as individual acts of violence. That is far from the truth. Individual acts of violence happen in every country. These are mass events in which crowds are involved. This tells us something much deeper about our primitive psyche and state of rule of law than just the fact as to what was the identity of the people who died.

Fishy, so a mob of 30 odd people attacked a family on train, why does the article states no reason? Last time it was a quarrel for a seat which was turned in to beef now will have to wait and see what becomes of the same this time.

People are now aware of laws and Dharmics are not taking things lying down.

They should ideally give them (defaulters) up to the police.

In Maharashtra police is sympathetic to the Dharmic community. There is no need to take law into people's hands.

Muslim family attacked, robbed on train in India

Video goes viral, railway police detain three of 30 suspects in the case
A Muslim family was brutally assaulted and robbed by a gang on board a train in Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday.

The victims allegedly suffered fractures and internal injuries in the head and stomach.

The Government Railway Police have filed a case and detained three men.

Armed attack

The video of the family pleading as they were being assaulted went viral on social media. It shows about 30 young men armed with rods and sticks abusing the family and banging the coach from outside.

Later, they jump inside the train after breaking the glass on the emergency window.


According to 53-year-old Shakir, the culprits singled them out on noticing the veil-clad women on the Shikohabad-Kasgang passenger train. “We were attacked with rods. They robbed us and molested the women. They did not spare even my 17-year-old mentally challenged son,” Mr. Shakir, a resident of Kaimgang of Farrukhabad district, told presspersons. Superintendent of Police O.P. Singh said four of the family suffered head injuries, four others suffered hand fractures and all 11 had internal bleeding in the stomach.

He said a case under Section 395 of the IPC had been registered, but more sections would be added in the course of the probe.

“These people jumped inside the train, groped the women and snatched their chains,” said Mr. Shakir. “Some of the passengers who came to our rescue were attacked too.”

At the Farrukhabad station, the GRP took them to the hospital for a medical examination, he said.

I understand that. What I don't understand is where dozens of iron rods come from. If it's not common junk then there must be someone who supplied them.

That does not change the fact that another Muslim/s are attacked by Hindu extremists in India.

The incident is not isolated one rather part of the series going on in India against Muslims.. It is also not a law and order issue but singling out Muslims for targeting
