Four men held for assaulting an elderly Muslim man named Haji Ashraf Maniyar on a moving train in Maharashtra's Nashik area were granted bail after a few hours of their arrest on Monday. In the video, a group of men including the arrested accused are seen brutally assaulting the 70-year-old man, verbally abusing him and even hurling rape threats at him. According to reports, the men punched the victim in the face, chest, and stomach, hurled abuses, snatched his phone, and recorded the assault on multiple devices before posting it on social media. However, according to media reports, the police refused to include in the FIR charges of hate crime, mob attack, robbery and attempt to murder even at the demand of the victim.
