Man in India's Bihar Stabbed Allegedly for Watching Video of ex-BJP Spokesperson Sharma
12:17 GMT 19.07.2022 (Updated: 14:10 GMT 14.02.2023) In June, two people were killed in separate incidents for supporting Nupur Sharma, the suspended spokeswoman of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who made offensive remarks about Prophet Mohammed during a TV debate in May.
A young man in India's Bihar state claims to have been stabbed multiple times for having
watched a video of suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
According to media reports, the incident occurred in Sitamarhi district on July 15. However, a row erupted some days later when the family of victim Ankit Jha accused police of modifying Jha’s testimony and removing Nupur Sharma’s name from the complaint.
In his statement, Jha claimed that he was attacked by four men led by a person named Mohammad Bilal while watching a video of former BJP official Sharma. Local police, however, said that personal enmity appeared to be the actual reason behind the attack.
“The reason behind the scuffle between the two groups was over releasing cigarette smoke on Jha’s face at the road side stall, leading to an immediate argument,” a senior police official said.
Following the stabbing, locals and passersby’s rushed Jha to hospital where he is receiving treatment. His condition is said to be critical. Videos of the incident and Jha’s statement are being circulated on social media.
Videos of the incident and Jha’s statement are also being circulated on social media.
Meanwhile, police have said that two people have been arrested, while another two have absconded.
Earlier this month, another young man in Ara district of Bihar state
was attacked by over 20 people for supporting a social media post praising Sharma. The incident occurred at a tea stall when two men, identified as Deepak and Raees, expressed their views on a Facebook post backing Sharma.
Last month, two people in Rajasthan and Bihar states were killed in separate incidents for allegedly supporting Sharma.
Sharma's polemic remarks about Prophet Mohammad in May sparked an international row. She later revoked her statement and apologized, while the ruling party immediately distanced itself from her comments.
