While they were returning from the Sujdu area after completing their work, a group of 8 to 10 men stopped them in Darzi Wali Gali. The men started verbally abusing the duo, then assaulted them. In the video that circulated online, one man is seen pulling off Farheen’s hijab while others were pushing and attacking them. Some people around filmed the incident instead of helping.

Police reached the location soon after getting the information. They managed to calm the situation and safely took Farheen and Sachin to the police station. After a complaint was filed by Farheen, a case was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Six men were arrested based on the complaint and the video evidence. Later, all of them were seen limping at the police station while being escorted by officers. However, many on social media felt that their limping was fake and staged for sympathy.

Muzaffarnagar City Circle Officer (CO) Raju Kumar Sao confirmed the arrests and said, “More people will be arrested as they are identified from the video. Strict legal action will be taken.”
