In August, Tasleem Ali was thrashed by a group of locals in Indore for allegedly concealing his Muslim identity to sell bangles to Hindu women.
Tasleem Ali, a 25-year-old bangle seller who was beaten up for allegedly concealing his identity while selling bangles in an Indore locality in August this year, walked out of prison last evening after spending 107 days at Indore Central Jail. He was arrested on August 24 on charges of molestation and forgery.
"I have not committed any sin or done anything wrong. If I had been a criminal, I would have fled the city. I myself went to the police station to file a complaint against those who beat me up and snatched away my money," he told reporters, reported news agency PTI.
"Instead, a case of molestation was filed against me despite the fact that I had not even seen the face of the (complainant) girl," Ali, who is from Uttar Pradesh, said.
Speaking to NDTV after his release, Ali said, "I wish the Hindu-Muslim unity remains intact in the country."
