Hate Crime: Nepal man's head shaved in UP, Jai Shri Ram written on scalp

New Delhi : Days after Nepal Prime Minister KP Oli claimed that lord Ram was from their country, the side effects were registered in Uttar Pradesh, where members of Vishwa Hindu Sena in Varanasi indulged in hate crime as they tonsured a Nepali man’s head after forcing him to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’.

The victim man was also asked to shout slogans against Nepal Prime Minister KP Oli.

The video of the whole traumatic incident was recorded and shared on Facebook by Arun Pathak, the convenor of Varanasi-based fringe group Vishwa Hindu Sena, as per a report in The Hindu. In order to teach lesson to Nepal Prime Minister, he fearlessly urged the other member of group to do the same with other Nepali residents in the state.


The video of the hate crime has gone viral on the internet and people have shown anger towards the act which is nothing less than inhuman.

While one tweeted, “Immoral Sanghis! It’s a matter of global shame Stop torturing innocent Nepalis for the statement made by their PM. God is everywhere irrespective of boundaries (sic)”, another lashed, “These Hindu goons get threatened by the tiniest of statements made just by anyone and everyone. How fragile are their egos? But this is absolutely unacceptable, how can they have a free run like this. Oh wait, it is Uttar Pradesh right?”

In an interview with ANI, Vikas Chandra Tripathi, Varanasi City SP said, “A video has gone viral in which Arun Pathak, a person who runs an organisation, was seen tonsuring a man’s head. Pathak did it in anger over a statement by Nepal PM. Case registered and efforts are on to nab the person.” Pathak has been slapped with charges under Sections 505(2) and 295 of the IPC and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act.
