A hate-monger slapped a sick Muslim man on an IndiGo flight, not for breaking the rules, but for being a Muslim.
Hello @IndiGo6E
This Isn't a hate crime? What steps have you taken? #NationalFilmAwards2025#KulgamEncounter #StressfreeLife… pic.twitter.com/rAooB6twvT
He was then slapped, and the man claimed that Ahmed was causing problems.
In the video, another passenger could be heard asking, “Why did you slap him? You do not have the right to hit anybody, do you understand?”
A crew member was also heard telling the accused, “Do not do that.”
After the incident, the man who slapped the Muslim man was detained by police and was later released.
But the man who got physically abused in front of other passengers did not take the connecting flight and went missing.
So the family filed a missing case report, and he was then found at Barpeta railway station in Assam, physically and mentally unwell.
It is pertinent to mention that discrimination against Muslims in India has spiked in recent months, amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of their recent military confrontation, sparked by New Delhi’s allegations levelled without evidence against Islamabad over a deadly attack in occupied Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
