Op IndiaSome Islamist handles on social media shared a post on Sunday alleging that a Muslim man died in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, after being beaten by a group of people celebrating Holi on Saturday. The social media handles, including Maktoob Media and Hate Detector, claimed that the Muslim man died after he was physically attacked by a group of Hindus playing Holi after he objected to being coloured. Citing a report of Jagran, the social media handles alleged that the 48-year-old Muslim man named Sharif was going to a mosque on Saturday when he reportedly encountered a group of men celebrating Holi near Mohalla Kashif Ali Sarai Chungi Power House. However, the claims of the Islamist social media users that the Muslim man died after being assaulted by a Hindu mob were refuted by the Unnao Police.
