Throat slitting of Hindu shopkeeper
The victim, a Hindu who owned a tailoring shop in the Dhanmondi area near Bhootmahal in the city, was ambushed in what is being called premeditated murder. Around 230 pm, two Muslim youth arrived at the shop on a bike. One of them held a phone to make a video, and the other one pretended to give his measurements to the tailor.
While the victim proceeded to take measurements of one of the men, he was ambushed and brutally hit on his head and neck with swords. The whole act was deliberately caught on camera. The killers, Mohammed Riyaz Akhtar and Mohammed Gosh later confessed to the killing in a video with no remorse while brandishing the murder weapon. The killers were seen making derogatory remarks and even threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the video.
Hindu killings for opposing Islamic radicalism
Earlier, several Hindus have been killed for opposing Islamic radicalism in India. On 18 October 2019, the President of Hindu Mahasabha named Kamlesh Tiwari, was murdered by Farid-ud-din Shaikh and Ashfak Shaikh Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The assailants came dressed in saffron kurtas to give him a sweets box with an address of a sweet shop in Surat city in Gujarat. Tiwari's aide Saurashtrajeet Singh was sent to bring teas for them, and when he returned, he found Tiwari lying with his throat slit. According to police officials, the assailants kept a revolver and knife inside the sweets box. During the attack, one assailant slit his throat while another fired at him. He was declared dead during treatment at a hospital's trauma centre. According to the post-mortem report, he was stabbed 15 times.
On 5 February 2019, a PMK (Pattali Makkal Katchi) leader in Tamil Nadu was brutally murdered by a group of Muslims for opposing religious conversion. 42-year-old Ramalingam was assaulted in Kumbakonam in the Thanjavur district on his way back home. Attackers chopped off his hands. Ramalingam died on the way to the hospital due to excessive bleeding.
No killing of Muslims for defaming Hindu deities
Lots of incidences have been reported of defamation of Hindu deities. Muslims have shared derogatory content defaming the Hindu faith on social media also. But not a single incident of their killing has been reported. However, several police complaints have been filed, and convictions were also taken place. For example, according to the Deccan Chronicle report, in Tamil Nadu, Mamallapuram police had arrested a man who posed for a picture with one leg on Shiva Linga, wearing slippers and posted it on social media. The arrested, Saddam Hussain (35), had took the picture at the Shiva Linga placed near Thiru Moorthy Mandapam.
Rule of law
Violent Muslims are now becoming a challenge for State Governments and the Central Government. The community is getting violent day by day. Hundreds of riots have been reported in just the last five years. Police officials are under pressure because of such anti-social elements. No one is above the law. There are several Constitutional rights under which Muslims can approach Governments and the judiciary. But instead, they are taking the law into their own hands. Still, Hindu society has not conducted any violent riots and no one has been killed by them. It is the prime responsibility of every citizen of India to follow the Constitution.
