The incident occurred at Indore’s Bijasan temple where members of a right-wing group, Hindu Jagaran Manch began checking the IDs of the shopkeepers. Upon coming across a Muslim they forced him to remove his stall.

A video shared on Twitter shows the members of the Manch asking the shopkeeper to wind up his belongings and leave. A woman from the group asked the man his name to which he answers “Mohammed Saleem.”
