ALIGARH – A Muslim youth Abdul Samad, who was out to buy medicine, was brutally beaten up by a mob outside a chemist store in Aligarh on the excuse that he was a “coronavirus carrier”.
The incident took place on Friday evening when a mob, called Abdul Samad a “coronavirus carrier”, thrashed him and left him unconscious with serious injuries outside the shop.
Samad was rushed to Malkhan Singh District Hospital by relatives who arrived at the spot after people raised an alarm.
“My son was feeling unwell after the fast on Friday night. He had gone to a chemist shop in the neighbourhood to purchase some medicine,” Samad’s father Laiqur Rehman told media.
“Had we not rushed him to the hospital, the injuries could have been fatal,” he added.
Samad is now out of danger and has been referred to Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Hospital.
