A Muslim student was brutally beaten by a vigilante group for posing for a photo with a group of girls believed to be Hindu, police in southern India have said.
Mohammed Riyaz, 20, was attacked after an image of him posing with two other boys and five of their female classmates at a college in Surathkal, near the southwestern city Mangalore, was circulated online.
According to news site The News Minute, Riyaz is seen sitting on the far left of the group in the photo while one of his friends, Mohammed Swali, lies on the girls' laps.
The snap was reportedly posted on Facebook with the caption: "Hindu Girls Muslim Boy" and soon went viral through messaging app WhatsApp.
This display of affection between students of a different sex and religion outraged a local Hindu gang, which decided to punish the young men for what they perceived as an immoral behaviour. Full story...
