The entire incident was filmed by the Hindu mob and then shared on social media as a victory for the far-right in India.
The video drew widespread criticism on social media and was played alongside a clip of Pakistani PM Imran Khan warning the world about the rise of the Far-right in India. He suggested this movement was promoted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has given the Hindu movement more power and protection under his government, giving a rise to Hate crimes in the country.
So far the Police have not made any arrests and the two men have been freed reportedly with the police after receiving a warning.
