Lucknow: After a group of men were seen on camera assaulting Kashmiris selling dry fruits in Daliganj locality in Uttar Pradesh’s capital city, police swung into action and arrested four persons involved in the act.
The incident took place on Wednesday evening amid the nationwide backlash on Kashmiris following the February 14 terror attack in Pulwama.
“The Kashmiri youths were selling dry fruits on Daliganj bridge and a group of men beat them up, terming them as stone pelters,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kalanidhi Naithani told repoters here on Thursday.
The victims were attacked with sticks by saffron-clad men, the video of which has gone viral. (PTI)
