Muslim couple thrashed on board train in MP, accused of carrying beef
On Wednesday, seven members of the rightwing "Gaurakshak Samiti" allegedly got on the Kushinagar Express train at a station in Harda district and insisted on searching passengers and their baggage. The group claimed they had been tipped off about a passenger carrying beef.
Naseema Bano and her husband Mohammad Hussain were among the passengers who were allegedly asked to submit to the search.
In a complaint to the police, Naseema Bano said she and her husband were thrashed because they resisted the men.
Hussain allegedly called a relative who lives nearby, who came with eight other men. The two groups clashed.
Two members of the Gaurakshak Samiti have been arrested and so have nine others from the rival group. All of them have been let off on bail.
