Hapur: In 2nd video, mob forces man to confess cow slaughter

Hapur, June 23

Another video of the Hapur lynching purportedly showing a mob beating up a man and forcing him to confess to having slaughtered a cow has gone viral on social media.

Samayuddin (65), one of the men who were allegedly brutally assaulted by the mob after minor tiff with a man on a motorcycle, can be seen pleading to the attackers.

The mob can be heard asking him to identify others, who they alleged slaughtered a cow. A panting Samayuddin can be seen bleeding profusely from his head in the video aired on TV channels.

Another video had rocked the Internet following the shocking incident in Bacheda village on June 18. It showed a man with multiple injuries lying in a field.

The police had earlier said Qasim (45) was lynched following a tiff with a man on a motorcycle, denying reports that a mob attacked him and Samayuddin over rumours of cow slaughter. A photo of Qasim being dragged by a crowd in the presence of three policemen had gone viral on social media. The UP Police had apologised over the manner injured Qasim was being handled.

In Delhi, Samayuddin’s brother had alleged on Friday that the UP Police had not registered the FIR in the manner wanted by his family. — PTI
