The move is degrading to a Muslim woman's pride and values, as it's considered prohibited for a hijabi woman to be seen without her headscarf in public and around strange men. Several locals on social media have expressed that this incident has become a daily occurrence in India, expressing further concern for Muslim women's safety in the country.
A social media user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), "The violent harassment of Muslims in public by Hindutva thugs has become a daily occurrence in Modi's India."
Another added, "Utter disgrace, imagine doing that to a Sikh woman or any other religion, shameless."

Israel Threatens to Assassinate Hamas Leader Khalil Al-Hayya in Qatar - Jordan News
Israeli Defense Minister issued a new threat on Saturday, warning of further assassinations targeting senior figures in both the political and military wings of Hamas — including Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official residing in Qatar. The statement comes after the Israeli military confirmed the assassination of Mohammed al-Sinwar, a top Hamas military commander. اضافة اعلان In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Defense Minister Israel Katz declared: 'It's official: Mohammed al-Sinwar and Rafah Brigade Commander Mohammed Shabana have been eliminated. Israel's long arm will reach every individual responsible for the October 7th massacre, near or far — until all are eliminated.' According to the Israeli military, Mohammed al-Sinwar, brother of Hamas leader Yahya al-Sinwar, was killed in an airstrike roughly three weeks ago near the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Katz also issued threats against other key Hamas figures, including Izz al-Din al-Haddad, commander of Gaza City Brigade, and Khalil al-Hayya, a prominent member of Hamas's political bureau. Since the start of the war on Gaza, Israel has carried out assassinations of numerous Hamas leaders both inside and outside the Gaza Strip. Among the most high-profile targets reportedly killed: Ismail Haniyeh, Head of Hamas's Political Bureau, allegedly assassinated in Tehran. Saleh al-Arouri, Deputy Political Chief, killed in a drone strike in Beirut.

Muslim men brutally beaten by Hindu mob in India
Four Muslim men were brutally assaulted by a mob of Hindu extremists in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, on Saturday, allegedly for transporting beef. Eyewitnesses said members of extremist Hindutva groups intercepted the victims' vehicle, forced them out, partially stripped them, and violently beat them. The attackers accused the men, who work in the meat trade, of transporting beef — the slaughter of which is banned in many parts of India. However, the victims' families stated they were carrying buffalo meat, which is legal. Videos widely circulated on social media showed the men bloodied and battered, being beaten in front of police officers, while the mob chanted slogans like 'Jai Shri Ram' — a Hindu religious chant that has been used by mobs during several high-profile attacks on Muslims. Police Response Amrit Jain, a local police official, claimed the police arrived after receiving a tip from residents. 'Some villagers intercepted the men, suspecting they were slaughtering animals and distributing meat. Officers rushed to the scene and hospitalized the injured,' he said. A veterinarian was called to test meat samples, and an investigation is underway. Jain confirmed that a case was filed and that legal action would follow based on findings. The situation in the area is now calm. Extortion Attempt Reported According to a complaint filed by the father of one of the victims, the assailants had earlier demanded 50,000 rupees (around $587). When the men refused to pay, they were beaten with sticks and sharp objects. The same group reportedly tried to extort the victims just two weeks ago but were stopped by police. The police registered a case against 13 identified individuals and 20–25 unknown persons under India's new penal code. Outrage and Condemnation Mohammad Farqan, a former mayor of Aligarh, described the assault as 'unimaginably brutal' after visiting the victims in the hospital. 'The attackers have not been arrested. We warned the authorities—if these incidents don't stop, we'll be forced to protest in the streets,' he said. Farqan added that the victims' vehicle was set on fire, their phones were stolen, and demanded compensation for their losses. 'Police were present during the assault,' he said, calling for justice and communal harmony. The attack triggered widespread outrage among India's Muslim community. Indian MP Imran Pratapgarhi condemned the mob, likening the assault to terrorism. 'They tried to extort them, failed, then burned their vehicle and beat them savagely,' he posted on X. 'Is this the state of law and order in Uttar Pradesh?'

Multiple people seriously injured in knife attack at Hamburg Central Station
Several people have sustained life-threatening injuries in a knife attack at Hamburg Central Station on Friday evening, according to local authorities. The incident occurred around 18:00 local time (16:00 GMT) between platforms 13 and 14 of the northern German city's main railway station. Police confirmed that 18 people were injured in the attack.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Hamburg Police said several of the victims were in critical condition. Emergency responders treated some of the injured passengers inside trains at the station. Speaking to reporters, police spokesperson Florian Abbenseth stated that the suspect appeared to have acted alone and that there was currently no indication of a political motive. Authorities believe the woman may have been suffering from "mental distress" at the time of the attack. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz described the attack as 'shocking' and praised emergency services for their swift response. The station was partially evacuated while investigations were carried out. It remains unclear how the attacker gained access to the weapon or how the incident unfolded in detail.
