Following the Friday prayers, an unfortunate event occurred today where a police officer was seen kicking individuals who were praying on the road near a mosque in Delhi. The incident was recorded by onlookers on their mobile phones and the video was shared on social media platforms. The incident reportedly occurred in the Inderlok area of Delhi near a mosque.
Upon arriving at the scene, the police officer found a group of people laying down prayer mats on the road and praying. He attempted to wake them up, but resorted to kicking a shoe with his foot. This action led to objections from the individuals present, resulting in a heated argument between the constable and the group.
As the video of the incident gained traction online, police officials stated that they would launch an investigation and take necessary actions.
The Delhi North Division DCP stated that they have received information regarding the incident that occurred near Inderlok area. An investigation has been initiated and necessary actions will be taken accordingly.
The video circulating widely on social media depicts a stark contrast in treatment between people dancing on the streets for hours and Muslim Friday prayers. This disparity in response is indicative of the discrimination faced by Muslims in the country. It is disheartening to witness such blatant prejudice.
On the other hand, the Sangh Parivar and right-wing supporters have been vocal in their support for the police’s actions, arguing that they were simply carrying out their duties.
