He is being questioned about the incident. Further action is underway,’ Station House Officer (SHO) Brijesh Tiwari told PTI.

According to police, Lav Shukla, a resident of Vinay Khand in Gomti Nagar, saw the CCTV footage on Saturday morning.

Editorial Perspective

Will those who say “Hindus and Muslims are brothers” speak out about this incident ? The Government must now create a law to give the death penalty to such religious Muslim fanatics ! In Pakistan, people of other religions who hurt Muslim religious sentiments are punished like this.
