They (attackers) said we are terrorists. We were told that we sell items here and throw stones there. They started thrashing us. They asked for our Aadhaar cards. We showed it to them,” Mohammed Afzal Naik said, describing the traumatic moments before the media and the police.
Speaking about the passers-by, Mr Naik said, “They’re good. Those people saved us. They told the men that it is upto the police to speak to us. They had reached before the police.”
“This is a , very unfortunate and one off incident which has happened. We will crack down on such incidents with the entire force of the law. Nobody is above the law and nobody can target innocent citizens like this… The strongest possible action will be taken to target innocent Kashmiris,” senior police officer Anand Kumar told NDTV.
Jammu and Kashmir politicians Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti as well as the Congress, the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party and Asaduddin Owaisi have condemned the brutality. “Nothing will do more damage to the idea of India in Jammu and Kashmir than videos like these,” Mr Abdullah said in a series of tweets along with the video post.
The incident in Lucknow comes amid the nationwide backlash on people from the Kashmir Valley following the February 14 terror attack in Pulwama.
Wednesday’s attackers are members of the Vishwa Hindu Dal, a right-wing fringe group. Among them is Himanshu Awasthi, who claims to be the president of the group. He had bragged about the attack on Facebook, claiming he and his men had carried it out. The video of the attack that he shared on Facebook has been taken down.
Bajrang Sonkar, one of the men arrested, has more than a dozen criminal cases including that of murder, loot, theft and arms act pending against him.
Since the February 14 terror attack, there have been several reports of people from Kashmir being targeted and harassed in various parts of the country. The alleged harassment had promoted the central government to issue an advisory to the states to ensure their safety.

Police Thursday arrested four persons for assaulting two Kashmiri dry fruits sellers in Daliganj locality of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh.
The incident took place Wednesday evening amid the nationwide backlash on Kashmiris following the February 14 attack in Pulwama.
“The Kashmiri youths were selling dry fruits on Daliganj bridge and a group of men beat them up, terming them as stone pelters,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kalanidhi Naithani told reporters here Thursday.
He said after an “alert citizen” made the video, the matter came to light after which police teams swung into action and arrested the main accused, Bajrang Sonkar, who has more than a dozen criminal cases including that of murder, loot, theft and arms act pending against him.
On his tip off, three others — Himanshu Garg, Aniruddh and Amar Kumar — were also arrested on Thursday, the SSP said.
About the victims, he said they were Abdul and Afzal of Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir, who come here during winters to sell dry fruits.
Naithani said police wanted to give a stern message that such acts would not be tolerated and those involved will be brought to book.
The victims were attacked with sticks by saffron-clad men, the video of which has gone viral. The locals, however, rushed to their rescue and informed the police.
An FIR was lodged in this connection at Hasangaj police station under various sections of the IPC, including 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 307 (attempt to murder), and Criminal Law Amendment Act. Sonkar claims to be the president of the Vishwa Hindu Dal.

The two Kashmiris, who were beaten up, later told mediapersons that they were satisfied with the police action, which they termed as prompt.
