In yet another case of hooliganism in the name of Ram, a gang of miscreants, said to be activists of Bajrang Dal, thrashed a group of madrasa students and forced them to chant 'Jai Shree Ram' in Unnao of Uttar Pradesh.
According to Imam of Jama Masjid in Unnao, the madrasa children were beaten by the miscreants while they were playing cricket after they refused to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’. They also pelted stones at children and tore their clothes.
Police have registered a case in this incident and have identified three accused tracing their Facebook accounts. Accused have purportedly identified themselves as members of Bajrang Dal in their social media accounts.
According to some news reports, the children went to a ground to play cricket after offering afternoon prayer. It was then that a group of four men arrived at the ground and after discussion over playing cricket they allegedly started beating the children and even forced them to say 'Jai Shri Ram'.
After the incident, the children came back to madrasa and narrated the incident. Police arrived at the madrasa and took cognisance of the matter.

The Imam of Jama Masjid has demanded quick probe into the matter and arrest of the accused at the earliest possible.
