A video of Kanwariyas attacking a Muslim family has gone viral on social media.

The incident took place on July 5. A group of Kanwariyas, devotees of Lord Shiva, were returning from Haridwar with holy water. They allegedly accused a passing car of hitting and damaging their kanwar, the decorated structure used to carry the sacred water.

The car was occupied by a Muslim family, including women and children. Enraged over the alleged damage, the Kanwariyas violently attacked the family on the road. They chased and beat the family members, who were terrified and tried to flee the vehicle, including the women and children.

One of the Kanwariyas reportedly grabbed a Muslim man from the car, tore his clothes, and beat him severely.

Police later said that both parties have reached a compromise and moved on.
