Following the matter, state’s Home Minister Narottam Mishra seemingly tried to justify the thrashing by saying, “If a man hides his name, caste and religion then bitterness comes in”, as reported by the NDTV.
The Minister also requested people to refrain from giving communal colour to the matter.
He added that, “He (Tasleem) was using a Hindu name, though he belonged to a different community. He also had two different Aadhaar cards… he was selling bangles which our daughters wear and apply henna during sawan (monsoon)… that’s how the altercation started”.
“The accused first asked my name and started beating once I revealed it. They also robbed the ₹ 10,000 that I was carrying and broke the bangles and other material that I had” said Tasleem in his complaint to the police.
National Chairman of INC Minority section Imran Pratapgarhi said while posting the video, “this video is not from Afghanistan, it is from Indore. It is Madhya Pradesh of Shivraj Singh’s dream where a Muslim bangle seller gets lynched.”
