The attack has been reported to the Ayodhya Police.
“In-charge Inspector Police Station Kotwali Ayodhya has been directed to investigate and take necessary legal action,” the Ayodhya Police said in a tweet.
The man is seen being carried out of the water by someone in a video of the assault that has gone viral on social media. Then, numerous people begin to beat him. “This filth will not be permitted in Ayodhya,” one of the attackers is overheard shouting.
At the Ram ki Paidi, a group of river embankments on the Sarayu, the man was assaulted. Many Hindus revere the river since it is one of the seven tributaries of the Ganga.
