New Delhi, India — When Nayeem Ahmad, 35, left his sweets shop on Sunday morning to buy cooking oil, his younger brother, Tasleem, did not know that interreligious tensions were boiling over in Sambhal, their hometown in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state.
Within a few minutes, Tasleem received a phone call he will never forget: “My elder brother was shot dead by the police in daylight.”
