On August 24th, District Magistrate (DM) Ankit Kumar Agarwal appointed a three-member committee to investigate a video of a teacher, Tanveer Ayesha, removing tilak off students' foreheads that was circulated on social media. The incident occurred at a school in Bhanera village, Kiratpur block.
This case is of Kotwali Nagar police station area of Bijnor district. There, on Friday, the father of the victim child, Deepak Saini, submitted a complaint in the police station.
The mob threatened to create a 'Bangladesh-like situation' for the Hindu family. After this, many Hindu families put up 'House for sale' boards on their houses.
When the video went viral on social media, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) filed a complaint with the local police and demanded immediate action against the accused.
The accused youths were acting as a group to deter Hindu men from roaming with Muslim girls. Following that, they would notify the Muslim girl's family.
