Bhopal, July 30, 2023 (PPI-OT): The dust of naked parade and gang rape of Christian women in Manipur has not settled when a Muslim physiotherapist woman was molested and thrashed by a Hindutva armed mob in Madhya Pradesh state of India. The Hindutva mob also assaulted the woman’s acquaintance, who tried to intervene and stop the accused in Kharakua- Ujjain area of the state.

The Muslm physiotherapist, Zarreen Khan, was passing through Ujjain’s Kharakua on her scooty when the main accused, Hitesh Badwaya, stopped her two-wheeler and pulled the vehicle’s key out. The man inappropriately grabbed her hand and assaulted her on being resisted.

Later, Zarreen sought help from one of her acquaintances, Taufeeq Khan, who was passing through the area. Taufeeq intervened and asked the accused to back off, but Hitesh – instead of budging – called his group Hindu members and thrashed Taufeeq before fleeing the spot. After the incident, locals in the area, led by two Congress leaders, Noori Khan and Ravi Bhadauria, surrounded the police station and demanded swift action against the accused. The protestors demanded that the house of the accused be demolished.
