Later, they threatened him with dire consequences if he complained to the police. The accused have been identified as Gaurav, Eklash from Uttar Pradesh and Nitin from Haryana.
Earlier in July, a BJP lawmaker said that the increase in heinous crimes such as rape and murder was happening due to the rising Muslim population in India, reported the ANI.
Hari Om Pandey, BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh’s Ambedkar Nagar also asserted that soon a ‘new nation’ like Pakistan will be carved out from India if the government fails to curb the rising Muslim population in the coming days.
“The menaces such as of terrorism, rape, sexual harassment prevailing in India is only because of the rising Muslim populations. If one looks closely, there is a rapid increase in the percentage of Muslim populants since the time of Independence,” said Pandey.
