A Muslim couple from Haryana was allegedly assaulted by two men for not chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in Alwar late on Saturday night, according to the Hindustan Times.


What Happened?

The couple on their way back to their home in Haryana was harassed by two men at the Alwar bus stand where they stopped to have dinner.

The men, identified as Vansh Bharadwaj and Surendra Bhatia, beat up the husband for not chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’. They also stripped and made obscene gestures at the woman. After the couple cried for help, people around the bus stop gathered and beat up the accused and took them to the police station.

The couple has filed a complaint against Bharadwaj and Bhatia at a women’s police station in Alwar.

According to reports, the couple was travelling from the wife’s maternal home in Didwana to Nuh in Haryana, where they live. The couple and their child were at the bus stand when the two men approached them and started misbehaving.

The victims alleged that the duo forced the couple to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and when the husband refused, they started beating him up.

When the wife denied, they started sexually harassing her. The duo began to strip in front of the woman and continued to misbehave with her. “According to the FIR, they forced the couple to chant Jai Shri Ram and one of the men flashed before the woman,” the police said.

Station house officer of Alwar Mahila Thana, Chauthmal Verma, said that the FIR was registered at the Kotwali police station and transferred to them for investigation. “When one of the men flashed before the woman, the onlookers intervened and called the police. The two men were handed over to Kotwali police. We arrested them after recording the couple’s statement,” Verma said.

The Rajasthan Police admitted the accused at the Rajiv Gandhi Hospital in Alwar and after a medical test of the couple was conducted, a case under sections 354A (sexual harassment), 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings), 509 (outraging modesty of woman), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 386 (Extortion by putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt) of the Indian Penal Code was registered.

The police have arrested the accused Vansh Bharadwaj and Surendra Bhatia.
