Didn't Even Try to Enter Garba Pandal, Says Muslim Teen Thrashed By Bajrang Dal

Five Muslim men arrested from a Garba pandal in Madhya Pradesh's Indore did not commit any crime, and the arrest was only preventive, a senior cop said today. The men argued with the organisers and the police, he said. 19-year-old Kaif said they had only stopped on the road after their motorcycle ran out of fuel. "We just stopped on the main road and were beaten up. Our bike's fuel ran out, we simply stopped on the road. We didn't try to enter the garba pandal. Bajrang Dal members surrounded us and beat us up. The members said we made videos. They checked our phone; there was nothing on it. One of our friends is still in jail," Kaif said.
