Three minors forced to chant religious slogan sparks protest in MP's Ratlam district
New Indian ExpressBHOPAL: A viral video purportedly showing three minors being beaten by a teenager with slippers and forced them to chant a religious slogan, triggered protest by the Muslim community in the communally sensitive Ratlam district of Madhya Pradesh on Thursday evening. According to a senior police officer in Ratlam district, the video which went viral on Thursday evening, actually pertains to an incident that happened a month and a half back at Amrit Sagar Garden in Ratlam. Once the video went viral, Muslim community members protested outside the local police station on Thursday evening, demanding immediate action against those involved in the incident. The video which shows the teenager hitting the minors with slippers, using abusive language and forcing them to chant a religious slogan, revived the chilling memories of April 2023, when an 11-year-old boy from the minority community was allegedly stripped, flogged with belt and made to chant religious slogans by a group of minors from the other community in Indore.
