A muslim family of 10 including women and children were brutally assaulted and robbed in a train by a gang on Wednesday evening in UP’s Manipuri district.

According to a report on Times Now, the incident took place on the Shikohabad-Kasganj passenger train, where a group of 30-35 men assaulted the family with iron rods.

A video of the incident which went viral showed the mob trying to enter the passenger coach. 50-year-old Mohammad Shakir told the network: "It was a horror which I cannot forget. They attacked us with iron roads, robbed our belonging and molested our women. They didn't even spare my 17-year-old physically and mentally challenged son. They verbally abused us with some in the attacking group saying, "Kill them, they are Muslims", and they continued to beat us until we went unconscious"

Arsaan, Shakir’s son, said that his mother and sister was groped and even passengers who came to their rescue and their would-be rescuers were forced to leave the compartment. They added that after the incident, assailants jumped out of the train and called others who pelted stones and broke the emergency window panel.

Their ordeal continued as they failed to contact police on 100 helpline number and only when the train reached Farrukhabad junction were they taken to the hospital by GRP. They were admitted to Dr Ram Manohar Lohia government hospital in Farrukahabad, with several of them suffering injuries which ranged from fractured limbs to severe injuries to head and stomach. An FIR has been lodged under IPC section 395 and three men have been detained for questioning.
