An Indian police officer hailed as a hero for protecting a Muslim man from a mob
has said he has received abusive messages on social media.
Gagandeep Singh, an officer in the northern state of Uttarakhand, shot to fame after a video of him saving a Muslim man from a Hindu mob went viral on social media last week.
The man was visiting a temple with his Hindu girlfriend.
The mob surrounded the man and tried to attack, accusing him of "love jihad".
The term has been popularised by radical Hindu fringe groups who accuse Muslim men of participating in a conspiracy to turn Hindu women from their religion by seducing them.
When the video was first shared online, many called Mr Singh a "role model" for all Indians, and his story was carried in many mainstream Indian publications.

The Sikh police officer who saved the Muslim man. I don't care who's in power or what is your politics. That's the India I want and ever will want. Even if I am the only one left wanting it.

Salute to the Sikh police officer who saved a Muslim man from an angry Hindu mob. Why so many people were angry at the Muslim man for having a Hindu girlfriend? Love should be appreciated. Love can make our world a better place, hate can't.

We are quick to condemn those who take a life but we must be quicker to commend those who save one.

"I was just doing my duty. Even if I was not in uniform, I would have done the same thing and every Indian should do the same," he was quoted as saying by local media.
However it did not take long for people to criticise Mr Singh's actions, accusing him of defending "indecent behaviour".
"I have also received several hate messages," he was quoted as saying by local media outlet citizen.in.
Police officials told BBC Punjabi's Sunil Kataria that Mr Singh had been sent on leave would receive counselling. They did not specify for what, or what nature the counselling would take.
Police officials working with him have said that he has received threats to his life, and has been sent on leave.
Some politicians have also publicly justified the actions of the mob.
"It's wrong when these people (Muslim men) bring Hindu girls to our places of worship despite knowing it's a temple and it's pious," Rakesh Nainwal, a local leader of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), told BBC Punjabi's Sunil Kataria.
Another BJP MLA Rajkumar Thukral told the ANI News Agency that this was an attempt by the man to hurt the feelings of the Hindu community.
"We don't go to mosques because we don't have the right to go there," he added.
"Then why did these men go to our temple with an intention to destroy the Hindu culture?"
But for some residents of Ramnagar district, where the incident took place, the turn of events has been disturbing.
"When a boy and a girl go somewhere together by choice, then how can these right-wing groups call it a case of "love jihad" and attack them?" Kaisar Rana, a resident of Ramnagar, told BBC Punjabi.
