The incident reportedly occurred when the car the family was travelling in accidentally hit the Kanwariyas, who were walking on the road. The Kanwariyas then brutally attacked them after realising that the driver was from the Muslim community.

The incident has sparked outrage, with calls for action against communal violence, the Instagram user ahmedkhabeer wrote.
