UP Kanwariyas Beat Muslim Truck Driver to Death
———————–
A Muslim truck driver was beaten to death by a mob of Kanwariyas in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, after they suspected him of carrying cattle. The incident occurred during the Kanwar Yatra procession.

According to a report from Clarion India, the mob stopped the truck and, after finding animal skins, mistakenly concluded they were cattle remains. This led to a brutal assault on the driver and the truck being set on fire. The article states that police officers were present during the attack but failed to intervene, sparking widespread condemnation from human rights observers and community leaders.

This incident is being highlighted as part of a troubling trend of violence against Muslims under the pretext of cow protection laws. Community leaders are calling for accountability from the police and greater protection for the rights of the Muslim population.
