A 30-year-old Hindu youth, Monu, was lynched to death in broad daylight by a violent Islamic mob in Muzaffarnagar. Accused of being a thief without proof, he was brutally assaulted until his body turned blue with injuries. Imagine the outrage if this had been the other way around. When Tabrez Ansari, a Muslim man caught stealing, was lynched by villagers in 2019, the incident was amplified internationally, used to brand Hindus as intolerant and India as unsafe. But when an innocent Hindu is killed by a Muslim mob, the same ecosystem of liberals, media houses, and self-styled activists remain silent. This double standard exposes their hypocrisy and their deep-rooted agenda against Hindus.
Hindu Youth Lynched in Muzaffarnagar
The horrifying incident occurred in Budhana town of Muzaffarnagar on Karbala Road at around 10 am on Sunday. Monu, a 23-year-old Hindu youth who had come from Delhi to his hometown for Rakshabandhan, was mistaken for a thief by a mob of nearly 50-60 people, from the Muslim community. Without any evidence, they rained down brutal kicks, punches, and blows with sticks on him. His entire body bore the marks of the assault, turning blue with bruises.
Some locals tried to intervene and rescue him, but by then Monu was already critically injured. He somehow managed to return home, but his condition deteriorated rapidly. By nightfall, he succumbed to his injuries.
Family’s Heartbreaking Plea for Justice
Monu is survived by his brother Kallu, a daily wage laborer, and his sister-in-law. The family is shattered by the tragedy. Kallu broke down while speaking to the media:
“My brother has been murdered. They beat him mercilessly near Tillu’s house on Karbala Road. His whole body was swollen and bruised. I am a poor man, I work as a laborer. I can’t run around courts endlessly. My only demand is justice. The killers must be punished.”
The family’s grief is worsened by the fear that the case may be buried under pressure, just like several other incidents where Hindus are victims.
SP Rural Aditya Bansal rushed to the spot along with the police force. He admitted that tension prevailed in the village due to the involvement of “two communities” and security was beefed up. The police have registered a case against unknown assailants and confirmed that a viral video shows Monu being beaten by a mob. His body has been sent for postmortem and investigations are underway.
Hypocrisy of Liberals and Silence of Media
The contrast in reactions is glaring. In 2019, when Tabrez Ansari, a 24-year-old Muslim man, died after being caught stealing a motorcycle in Jharkhand, the “liberal lobby” and media went into overdrive. International outlets amplified the case, portraying Hindus as intolerant and India as a land of mob violence. Even though Tabrez was a thief, his death was painted as communal oppression.
But today, when an innocent Hindu man, Monu, is lynched to death by a Muslim mob, the same “secular warriors” are silent. No hashtags trend, no intellectuals pen angry op-eds, and no global outrage is manufactured. This silence is not just hypocrisy; it is a dangerous attempt to normalize violence against Hindus.
Justice Must Prevail
The lynching of Monu is not just a criminal act but an assault on the very idea of justice and equality in India. Selective outrage, media silence, and appeasement politics are emboldening radical mobs who believe they can get away with such crimes.
The law of the land, not Sharia or mob rule, governs India. Every culprit involved in this heinous murder must be arrested and given the harshest punishment. Justice for Monu is not just about one life lost—it is about sending a clear message that Hindu lives matter too, and that India will not tolerate mob rule disguised as “community action.”
