On Monday (12th May), a group of locals thrashed a meat vendor named Rizwan Qureshi for uploading a pro-Pakistan post on his Facebook account. The incident occurred in Barasat city in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal.
The development comes amid Operation Sindoor, launched by the Modi government against Pakistan to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.
In a video that has surfaced online, a man was heard saying, “He had posted a ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ video. So people broke his shop and thrashed him.” Visuals of broken Qureshi’s shop could be seen in the video.
The locals had printed out the Facebook post shared by the accused on his timeline. It appears to be a Pakistani propaganda video where PM Modi was shown pleading to Shehbaz Sharif on his knees.
Locals, who spoke to the media, said that a man like Rizwan Qureshi will not be allowed to do business in the city.
“He will live in India but sing praises of Pakistan. This cannot go on,” a local was heard saying.
