\nHe is circumcised (katua \u2013 a slur used by Hindu extremists for Muslims)\u201d. The video shows a mob surrounding the basement of the building where the victims are being assaulted.
\nThe Hindutva fanatics are also shown making a video of the assault on the victims. The video does not make it clear which part of Delhi the incident occurred.

\nThe video shows a man attacking the cattle trader claiming that the latter brings stray cattle together and sells them. The man is seen abusing and slapping the trader.
\n\u201cHindu far-right members assaulted a Muslim cattle trader,\u201d wrote the handle.
\n\u201cHe is a Muslim,\u201d said the attacker while hounding the victim. He also snatched the mobile phone set of the trader.
\nThe attacker made some allegations against the trader and asked the video-maker to bring the camera near to him.
\nThe trader clarified that he does not bring cows but oxen. But the attacker asked him about the permission granted to him for the cattle trade. The video showed the trader being slapped several times.
\n\u201cI will take him to the police station where he will be forced to say everything. I will now take him to the police station,\u201d said the attacker catching the cattle trader by his collar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
