The mob had not only thrashed the members of the Mahadalit community, but also set the houses of 13 of them on fire.
One person was beaten to death.
“The area falls under Baisi assembly constituency, which is being represented by the AIMIM. The emergence of AIMIM in the region has threatened the social fabric,” Singh said, adding he will open his mouth on the issue after the lifting of Covid-induced lockdown.
