New Delhi: The homes and livelihoods of 40 Muslim residents of New Delhi’s Ashok Nagar were vandalised on the horrendous day hours of February 25, Tuesday. The Muslim residents found brotherhood and a little light of hope from the Hindu neighbourhood who opened their houses for the Muslim families amid the smouldering ruins.
The mob burnt down their homes and shops on Tuesday. Around 1,000 entered the colony near Badi masjid in the mid hour of the day. They barged the mosque where at least 20 people were offering prayers.
