In yet another incident of hate crime, Mohammed Masum, a 19-year-old student of KDR Govt Polytechnic College in Wanaparthy district of Telangana, was brutally beaten by his fellow student Lokesh and five others when he headed out from his hostel room to offering Isha prayers.
The incident took place around 7.50 on Wednesday.
The attackers reportedly called him out, threw his skull cap on the floor, and trampled it. They then slapped Masum multiple times, leaving him injured and traumatised.
According to the victim, the miscreants fled the scene when he shouted out for help from other students. The imam of a masjid later admitted him to the hospital.
