What did the victim's family say?
India TV spoke with the victim's family. Hrithik, who made the video, alleged that Hanuman Chalisa was being played in his house around 9 am on Monday. Suddenly, his neighbors came and started creating a ruckus outside his house, and then a fight broke out.
A Muslim family lives right in front of Hrithik's house. The three brothers living in the house together beat Hrithik, his father, mother, and sister. Hrithik also said that the fight started in front of the house, but 8-10 more people came outside in the street and attacked them with hammers.
Victim Hindu family plans to leave area
Eyewitnesses to this dispute confirmed that Hanuman Chalisa was being played. The neighbours living right in front of them objected to this and suddenly a fight broke out. The victim Hindu family has now made preparations to leave that house and go to some other place. Hrithik and his father said that they cannot live in this area anymore. They said that they have a small child in their house, why would they play songs at high volume. Our neighbours beat us for playing Hanuman Chalisa at a low volume. They said that now they are feeling scared.
