DISTURBING VIDEO: DAILY-WAGE WORKERS BEATEN UP WITH SLIPPER FOR EATING MEAT NEAR WORSHIP-PLACE - LABOURERS CLAIM IT IS VEGETARIAN FOOD

Earlier this week,  a video of the assault began circulating on social media. Initially it was thought that they were assaulted as two of them belonged to minority community.

However, the men attacked allegedly for eating beef near a place of worship. The workers claim that they were consuming vegetarian meal when a group of unidentified young men arrived at the spot and began assaulting them. In a video of the incident, the assailants can be seen thrashing the labourers, reports Times Now.

Four people were beaten up allegedly for eating meat inside a temple in Bareilly on 29th May. SP Rural says, "A case has been registered, all accused will be arrested shortly. Locals who thrashed them said they were eating inside a religious place," reports ANI.

An FIR has been filed and two teams  have been formed to locate and arrest the rest of the accused who are currently at large, said Bareilly SSP Muniraj.
