In Maharashtra’s Kalyan region, three Muslim students were humiliated by Hindu extremists after performing prayers inside a classroom at Ideal College. Members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal filmed the students praying and circulated the video online, accusing them of hurting Hindu sentiments. The extremists then forced the students to apologize and bow before a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj while police officers reportedly stood by without intervening. Eyewitnesses said the students were surrounded and threatened with chants of 'Jai Shri Ram,' a slogan often used to intimidate Muslims. Local Muslim organizations condemned the incident as part of a growing pattern of anti-Muslim harassment across BJP-ruled states, citing police inaction and rising intolerance. Social activists in Mumbai warned that such incidents are deepening fear among Muslim families and students. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s foreign ministry condemned rising Islamophobia in India and urged the international community to take notice.
