Hyderabad, March 25 -- Members of the far-right organisation Bajrang Dal and self-proclaimed cow vigilantes assaulted two drivers in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya district, accusing them of smuggling cows.

A video has emerged on social media platforms where two Muslim men, their faces hidden, are seen being beaten up by the assaulting team. Later, with folded hands, they were forced to chant, "Gau hamari matha hai, gau rakshaks hamara baap (Cows are our mothers, gau rakshaks are our fathers)." The assault took place on March 18.

The person who recorded the incident takes a selfie video questioning the motive behind communal harmony. "How do you expect us (Hindus) to foster communal brotherhood with people like them?" he is heard asking.
