It’s the second day of Eid ul Adha and the second lynching of the week so far!
Jaharuddin, a 55-year-old truck driver from Majhwalia Village in the Gaura Outpost, was traveling to the district’s Nagara Bone Dust Factory.
Following a discovery that the truck was transporting animal bones to a factory, the crowd in Bihar’s Saran district lynched the driver of the truck late on Wednesday night, according to the police.
At Khori Pakad hamlet, located under the jurisdiction of the Jalalpur police station, the vehicle encountered a technical issue while en route to the factory. Jaharuddin, along with his assistant tried to fix the vehicle.
Several locals gathered there at the same time and started questioning them about the things loaded onto the truck. They began hitting them when they replied that there were animal bones in the truck and that it was headed to the plant in Nagara, according to Haider, the proprietor of the bone factory.
while the helper and other laborers managed to escape from the scene, Jaharuddin, due to his leg injury caused by an iron rod, was unable to flee and was subjected to a brutal beating that resulted in his untimely death.
The local police of Jalalpur also reached the spot but they did not intervene in the matter. The violent mob blamed the truck driver for being a Muslim and doing the business of bones and flesh ahead of Eid-ul-Adha,” he said.
After seeing how Jaharudding was lynched, the assistant and other workers were terrified and left the spot.
The Saran police have arrested seven suspects involved in the murder case at the Jalalpur police station. The arrests were made based on the preliminary investigation and evidence gathered.
It has been reported that the deceased person’s relatives have provided a statement, and a case has been filed against six identified individuals, along with 20 to 25 other unidentified individuals who were allegedly involved in the incident.
