The viral video of a sikh sub-inspector of Uttarakhand police. He saved a Muslim boy from a bhagwa mob. Unafraid.
That’s what an officer is supposed to do. Use his body to save a civilian. Not to use the civilian’s body to save his skin.— Harsh (@harsh8848) May 24, 2018

Gagandeep Singh, an Inspiration. Minority himself (Sikh) he stood up and protected Muslim man from Hindutva (Hindu extremist) mob threatening to kill him and his Hindu gf for dating. Killings have been regular w/ PM Modi’s reign. Singh received threats frm Hindutva for doing this https://t.co/EU5ZxHTtJi

Notably, the youth went to Garjia Devi temple to meet his girlfriend, a Hindu, during the holy Ramadan, the month during which Muslims not only abstain from food, drink but also from carrying out bad deeds and restraint oneself from indulgence in sensual pleasures from sunrise until sunset.
