New details have emerged in the case of the Pune Muslim techie who was killed by a right-wing Hindu mob. An SMS exchanged by the killers has confirmed that Mohsin Sadiq Shaikh was targetted for being a Muslim.
Shaikh’s brother Mobin has also confirmed that his brother was targetted because he very clearly appeared to be Muslim. He told Indian Express, “While returning, Mohsin was driving the bike while Riyaz was riding pillion. Suddenly, about 15 men came on motorcycles, shouting slogans…As soon as they saw Mohsin they stopped his bike and started beating him up. They didn’t touch Riyaz. Mohsin had a beard and was wearing a skull cap. Riyaz had none.”
His parents are in deep shock as their son was the only bread-winner of the family. Siasat visitors are hereby requested to show the solidarity with Shaheed Mohsin family and help them survived.
