Amid a row over an incident in which some police personnel publicly flogged a few Muslim men accused of stone-pelting in Gujarat, State Minister Harsh Sanghavi has asked whether humanity existed only for those who pelted stones and that if there were no human rights for those hit by stones.
The police had flogged the minority community members after they allegedly hurled stones at garba dance participants at Undhela village in Kheda district earlier this week. Videos of some police personnel flogging them with a baton had surfaced on social media, after which a probe was ordered into the incident.
