Muslim Man Killed Hindu Brothers LIVE: दिवाली पर बेकाबू हुआ 'जिहादी'..हिन्दू भाइयों को काट डाला
A father has been arrested and police are searching for his son after a fatal stabbing at a Ramlila fair in Budaun, in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, according to the broadcast's on-screen update.
The report says Rohit, a 25-year-old resident of Behta Madhav village, went to the fair with a friend that evening. An argument over the price of a toy escalated into a physical confrontation at a stall. The broadcaster accuses two suspects of attacking the men with knives, killing Rohit at the scene and leaving his friend critically injured.
Footage shows an injured person on the ground, crowds at the fair, police officers and people outside a hospital. Photographs of Rohit and the suspects appear alongside captions describing the attack and the police search.
There is an important difference between the video's headline and its account of what happened. The headline describes two Hindu brothers being killed and uses a religiously charged label for the attacker. The narration instead identifies the victims as friends and reports one death, not two. It describes a dispute over a toy's price, without establishing a religious motive.
