The Delhi Police on Wednesday arrested a man for allegedly assaulting another man and forcing him to shout “Hindustan zindabad” and “Pakistan murdabad” slogans in Northeast Delhi’s Khajuri Khas area, the Hindustan Times reported.
The assailant was identified as Ajay Goswami, a resident of Old Garhi village and a dairy trader. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast) Sanjay Kumar Sain said Goswami is an accused in the 2020 Delhi violence and was recently released on bail. Sain, however, did not divulge details about the nature of Goswami’s involvement in the riots or the status of his case. The police clarified that the latest incident in Khajuri Khas was not related to last year’s violence.
Goswami was arrested after a video of the incident was circulated on social media. Sain said that Goswami beat up the victim while another accused, Deepak, recorded the video on his mobile phone. Deepak is yet to be arrested.
