NEW DELHI/ BIHAR: A Muslim family in Bihar, India, performed the last rites of a Hindu man who passed away on Friday.
The deceased, Ramdev Sah, worked in Mohammad Armaan’s shop in Patna for more than two decades.
News Track reported that 25 years ago, he had come to Armaan looking for work. He hired Ramdev and also gave him shelter.
When 75-year-old Ramdev passed away, the Muslim family prepared his Arthi and Armaan carried him to the cremation ground on his shoulder.
Rizwan, Armaan’s brother, reported that Ramdev was educated and handled the account of his shop in Buddha Plaza.
The video has garnered more than 500,000 views and over 16,000 likes.
Meanwhile, on the other hand a prominent young Muslim activist, Afreen Fatima’s house was bulldozed by authorities in Uttar Pradesh, India, Al Jazeera reported.
The 20-year-old claimed that the move was an “act of vendetta” by the government in response to the protests against BJP officials that she had actively been a part of.
Within a few hours, the house was torn down and the belongings of the family, such as furniture and books, were thrown outside.
Reportedly, among those belongings, was a poster that said: “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”
The demolition came after riots and protests emerged in India following blasphemous remarks by BJP officials. The protests became global, resulting in nearly 20 nations uniting against India.
