According to a BBC report, the Indian police officer who became a hero by saving a Muslim youth from the hands of Indian extremist Hindus was threatened with death.
Last week, radical Hindus tried to thrash the young man to death in a temple in Uttarkhand. At this time, to save the young man from the hands of the Hindus, he came and caught him. In this way, the Muslim youth survived.
After the video of this incident went viral on social media, there was a storm of discussion about him all over India. Many praised the young police officer. The police officer's name is Gagandeep Singh. Last Wednesday, the police officer was sent on leave after threatening to kill him. This was confirmed to the media by his fellow police officers.
According to media reports, on the day of the incident in Uttarakhand, the northern state of India, the young Muslim man went to visit the temple with his Hindu girlfriend. At that time, people of the Hindu community surrounded the young man and started attacking him accusing him of 'love jihad'. Love Jihad is a popular term among the Hindu community, by which they mean - a Muslim conspiring to convert a Hindu girl to his religion through deception. At that time the police officer hugged the Muslim youth and saved his life.
When a video of the incident went viral online, many called Gagandeep a role model for India. This incident was also widely reported in the mainstream media of India.
