Muslim vendor brutally killed by extremist Hindu mobMohammad Athar Hussain, a 50-year-old Muslim cloth vendor from Gagan Dih village in Nalanda district, India, was killed late Friday at Biharsharif Sadar Hospital following a mob assault on December 5 in Nawada district's Roh police station area.
Returning by bicycle from door-to-door sales in Dumri village, he was intercepted by six to seven men who verified his identity, robbed him, locked him in a room, compelled him to reveal his religious status, struck him with rods, sticks, bricks and pliers, stomped on his chest, and doused him with petrol to ignite him.
His wife Shabnam Parveen lodged an FIR claiming religious hatred as the motive, prompting police to detain four suspects amid an active probe.
