Uttar Pradesh: A video of a skullcap-clad man following a woman on a deserted street in Amroha and trying to allegedly molest her is going viral on social media. It records the Muslim man, being identified as Ataur Rahman, walking towards a woman who was on the streets to buy some milk. She was reportedly watched out by this man for a couple of days, who walked on her steps and approached her in a decent manner.
While the video restricted itself to showing Rahman following the lady, who is said to be a Hindu, it was learned further that he misbehaved with her by covering her mouth and leaving her helplessly screaming for help. This incident has surfaced days after a Muslim man created horror for Hindu women in the Muzaffarnagar area of the state.
