A practicing doctor was allegedly thrashed by a group of men near Ardee City of Gurugram in Haryana.

Dr Nurul, who lives near Wazirabad village in Sector 52, was returning after purchasing milk for iftar in his vehicle, when the incident took place.

Nurul, who hails from Uttarakhand, said two men came in a white car and started abusing him without any reason.

When he told them that they were on the wrong side of the road, the duo called 8-9 other men and brutally flogged him.

The 30-year-old doctor received several injuries on his head, eyes, face and other parts of the body.

According to The Times Of India, the doctor heard two of them calling him a "Muslim" and that he should leave the city otherwise riots will begin.

"I don’t know any of them. I want strict action against the accused," the doctor told TOI.

On Sunday, an FIR was registered against unknown assailants under Sections 147 (rioting), 149 (unlawful assembly) and other relevant sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Sector 53 police station.

Police are yet to arrest the accused, the report said.
