The Mumbai Police cyber cell has registered a complaint against the group of TikTok ‘influencers’ who had propagated revenge over Tabrez Ansari’s death.
According to the reports, Shiv Sena activist Ramesh Solanki filed a complaint against TikTok group named ‘Team 07’ consisting – Faisal Shaikh, Hasnain Khan, Faiz Baloch, Adnan Shaikh and Sadhan Faroqui, who have a combined followers strength of over four crore people.
In a video uploaded in Tik Tok, the group had propagated revenge against people over 22-year-old Jharkhand man Tabrez Ansari’s death. “You may have killed that innocent Tabrez Ansari, but tomorrow if his son takes revenge, do not say that all Muslims are terrorists,” the video claimed.
In June 2019, Tabrez Ansari who was allegedly caught stealing was beaten up by a mob. Later, he was handed over to the police. Four days later, he died in police custody.
However, the investigation team had concluded that Tabrez Ansari died as a consequence of stress-induced cardiac arrest and not due to mob-lynching.
