A woman named Rizwana Qureshi is demanding justice after her husband, Shahdeen, died in a shocking incident in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. Shahdeen, a 37-year-old laborer, was allegedly attacked and killed by a mob on December 30, 2024. Qureshi believes her husband was targeted because he was Muslim, and that accusations of cow slaughtering were false. The family is heartbroken and many are calling for a full investigation into the events that led to his death.
The events leading to Shahdeen’s death are still unclear, but Qureshi insists her husband had nothing to do with the illegal slaughter of cows. She stated that her husband was killed simply because of his religion. “He was never involved in cow slaughtering; they killed him for being a Muslim,” Qureshi said, expressing her deep sorrow. This brutal attack has created significant concern about rising religious intolerance and hate crimes in the area, as people try to understand how such violence could occur.
Moreover, this case underscores the vulnerable situation faced by religious minorities in some parts of India. Local officials have begun an investigation, however, Qureshi and others fear that it may be prejudiced. This incident is part of a bigger trend of violence that is causing concern among many community leaders. Consequently, Qureshi’s pursuit of justice will likely be difficult as she seeks accountability for the terrible loss of her husband.
