Zafarrudin has alleged that the miscreants beat him up too

A Muslim youth in Haryana's Gurgaon has alleged that he was forced to shave his beard and was beaten up by some people. In a complaint filed at a police station in Sector 39 of Gurgaon, Zafarrudin Hamid has said that he was forced to remove his beard prescribed by his religion.

A few micreants allegedly took Zafarrudin to a barber's shop. When the barber refused to do so, the miscreants bashed up both him and Zafarrudin.

"You're a Pakistani that's why you don't want to shave your beard," Zafarrudin has quoted the miscreants in his complaint.

They then tied Zafarrudin to the chair and forced the barber into shaving his beard.

Zafarrudin is a resident of Badli in Mewat area and works in Sector 29 in Gurgaon. An FIR has been filed in the case. Police investigation is underway.
