On April 16, three men were lynched<\/a> by an armed mob near Gadchinchale village which comes under the Kasa Police jurisdiction in Maharashtra\u2019s Palghar district. Three days later, videos of the incident on social media were amplified with an insinuation that it was a communally-motivated crime committed by members of the Muslim community.<\/p>\n

One such video of the gruesome incident was tweeted<\/a> by some individuals with the claim that the mob can be heard saying, \u201cMaar Shoaib Maar\u201d.<\/p>\n

No “Shoaib” in the video<\/h4>\n

After listening to several videos<\/a> of the same incident taken from different angles, Alt News found that the men are saying,\u00a0 “Bass oye bass (Stop hey stop)”.\u00a0 In the video posted below, the same can heard. Thus, the claim that one of the perpetrators involved in the incident was Shoaib is baseless.<\/p>\n

The incident took place on the night of April 16 when three men were attacked by a mob of local tribals near Gadchinchale village. They were reportedly<\/a> on their way from Mumbai’s Kandivili to Silvassa to attend a funeral when they were stopped by a vigilante group that was set up by locals to patrol during the night. The mob questioned these men who were travelling in a van. They pelted stones at them and later beat them up with sticks. The police have detained over 100 people and nine minors in connection with the lynching.<\/p>\n

Alt News reached out to PRO of Palghar police who reiterated that there is no communal angle to the incident. We were informed that both the accused and victim are from the same faith. The accused belong to the tribal community. The PRO said, “There was a rumour circulating in the area and the police had also issued a message regarding it.” There were reportedly<\/a> rumours about migrants robbing the tribals village in Palghar district.<\/p>\n

Palghar SP Gaurav Singh informed The Indian Express<\/em><\/a> that the investigation into the incident has so far focused on identifying the sources of the rumours spread in the tribal village.<\/p>\n

Moreover, according to the 2011 census data<\/a> of the Gadchinchale village of the Dahanu Taluka, it has over 248 households and of which majority of them belong to the scheduled tribe.<\/p>\n

Days before the incident, four police personnel were left injured in an incident where the SUV of a skin specialist Dr Vishwas Walwi of Thane was destroyed at Saarni village by a mob. “At least 250 people had attacked them when Dr Walwi was returning home after distributing food grains and conducting a small door-to-door thermal screening of tribals,” said a report Hindustan Times<\/em><\/a> published on April 17, 2020.<\/p>\n

Prominent social media users like Suresh Chavhanke and Ashoke Pandit attempted to give the incident a communal colour by claiming that the men involved in the lynching were members of the Muslim community. The accused and victims both hail from the same religion. There is no communal angle to the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
