The incident occurred Monday at the Purani Mandi Metro Station, where Raees, a cab driver, was reportedly forced by two young men to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ When he refused, they filmed the incident, threatened him, and allegedly assaulted him. Witnesses approaching the scene reportedly caused the men to flee. The video went viral Tuesday. An FIR has been registered, and police are reviewing camera footage to identify the accused.
In the clip, Raees is seen responding, “Why should I? Is it a special day today?” The videographer then threatens him, saying, “You’ll be saying Jai Shri Ram in three days.”
