A disturbing incident unfolded on India's Independence Day in Mumbai, shedding light on communal tensions. A Muslim youth faced a brutal assault by a mob, allegedly due to his association with a Hindu girl. Viral videos on social media captured the shocking incident, depicting the victim in a red shirt being subjected to repeated slaps and beatings by the mob.
