A mob brutally tortures a tribal man and a Muslim man in Assam A shocking incident of violence unfolds as two men are mercilessly attacked by a mob in Magurmari, Kokrajhar, Assam
09, Aug 2023 | CJP Team
Earlier this week, a violent mob in Magurmari, Kokrajhar, Assam, targeted two men over alleged suspicions of cow theft. The victims, a Muslim man and a tribal man, were tied up with ropes, subjected to brutal beatings, and left in a severely injured state. The gruesome assault was captured in a video that surfaced on social media on 6th August 2023, shedding light on a disturbing trend of hate-fuelled violence.
The victims can be seen tied up to a post. One of them lying helplessly on the ground, unable to even sit. The attackers, one of them even wielding a wooden bat, repeatedly rained blows upon the defenceless men, further exacerbating their injuries.

Despite the graphic nature of the video and the serious implications of the incident, media attention has been limited, raising concerns about the broader issue of normalisation of hate crimes. Further, a lack of updates regarding the actions taken by authorities is even concerning.
This incident is not an anomaly but comes on the heels of another disturbing video that recently went viral, showing an upper caste man, reportedly an aide of a BJP MP, urinating on a tribal man in Madhya Pradesh. These successive acts of violence raise alarming questions about the state of social harmony and the rise of hate-driven crimes in various parts of the country.
