The funeral of #Ashraf, a Malayali Muslim youth who was killed by a #Hindutva mob on Sunday in #Mangaluru, #Karnataka, was held today at Cholakkundu Juma Masjid in #Kerala’s #Malappuram district.
Ashraf was mentally unstable, according to his family, who spoke to media.
Over 20 members of the #RSS and #BajrangDal have been arrested in connection with the case, which now includes charges related to #MobLynching.
Karnataka Home Minister #GParameshwara stated that he was informed about reports claiming Ashraf shouted “Pakistan Zindabad” during a local cricket match, which allegedly triggered the attack.
However, local leaders insist that this is a false allegation spread by Hindutva members.
The person, who was killed in an alleged #MobLynching in #Mangaluru, #Karnataka, has been identified as #Ashraf (36), a native of #Pulpally in #Wayanad, #Kerala.
The incident occurred near the Bhata Kallurthi temple in #Kuduppu on Sunday evening.
Ashraf, said to be mentally challenged, was reportedly attacked by a group of people over unconfirmed allegations of shouting pro-Pakistan slogans.
Though rumours have circulated regarding the motive, #MangaluruPolice have not confirmed this claim.
The post-mortem revealed multiple injuries and internal bleeding, confirming death due to a brutal mob attack.
Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Anupam Agarwal told reporters that at least 25 people were involved, and 15 arrests have been made.
Ashraf, who had been living a marginal life collecting and selling scrap in Mangaluru, was largely disconnected from his hometown.
His younger brother, who came to identify the body, told the media that Ashraf had been undergoing treatment for mental health issues and that there was still no clarity on the exact circumstances of his death.
The body will be brought to Pulpally and will be buried at the Mahal Mosque in #Parapur, #Malappuram on Wednesday.
The body of #Ashraf, a 36-year-old mentally unwell Malayali Muslim man brutally lynched by a Hindutva mob in #Mangaluru, #Karnataka, was laid to rest Wednesday at the Cholakkundu mosque graveyard in his hometown of #Kottakkal, #Malappuram.
The burial was marked by grief and anger, with mourners—family, friends, and local residents—demanding justice for what many have described as a hate-fueled killing.
Ashraf, originally from Kottakkal but residing with his family in #Pulpally, #Wayanad, was attacked on Sunday, April 27, near the Batra Kallurthi temple in #Kudupu, Mangaluru, while watching a local cricket match.
Ashraf had been working as a scrap collector in several places. His family has been staying in Pulpally, Wayanad, on rent for the last three years after their house in #Parappur was taken over by a bank over a loan.
According to witnesses, the violence began after Ashraf drank a cup of water that had been kept by a nearby group playing. One of the accused, identified as Sachin T., confronted him. Soon after, a group allegedly led by Ravindra Nayak—husband of #BJP corporator Sangeetha Nayak—assaulted Ashraf using a cricket bat and other weapons.
Despite efforts by bystanders to intervene, the mob, allegedly affiliated with a #Hindutva club called “Samrat Guys,” continued the assault until Ashraf collapsed.
The attackers then fled the scene, believing him dead. He was later found near the temple and rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The post-mortem report from Wenlock District Hospital revealed Ashraf died from internal bleeding and shock due to deep injuries to his head, limbs, back, buttocks, and genitals, caused by wooden logs and blunt force trauma.
“He never interfered in anyone’s affairs. He kept to himself and focused on his own work. Even in business, he maintained minimal interactions. No one has anything bad to say about him,” Ashraf’s father, Muchikkadan Kunjeethukutty, told to media.
Following his death, the perpetrators circulated a claim that Ashraf had shouted “Pakistan Zindabad” during the match, in an apparent attempt to ‘justify the lynching.’
Karnataka Home Minister #GParameshwara initially echoed the claim : “An incident of mob lynching has been reported. There are claims he was shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad,’ which led to the attack. Around 10 to 12 people have been arrested, and further investigation is underway.”
His comments drew sharp criticism for failing to immediately debunk what many believe to be a false and inflammatory narrative.
Meanwhile, following criticisms, the Home Minister retracts the ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ claim. He said: “That was not my statement; I only repeated what the accused told the police. I have corrected my statement from yesterday. I will provide detailed information after further investigation.”
Congress Minority Cell Chairman Shahul Hameed questioned the minister’s sources, while #Kerala leaders condemned the statement as legitimizing communal violence.
According to Mangaluru City Police, the assault was initiated by Sachin T., a 26-year-old resident of Thiruvail village, and escalated when 25 to 30 individuals—allegedly affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (#RSS) and #BajrangDal—joined in the beating with sticks and fists.
CCTV footage and mobile data are being analyzed to identify further suspects.
So far, 20 individuals have been arrested, including Sachin T. (26), Devadas (50), Manjunath (32), Saideep (29), Nitesh Kumar alias Santosh (33), Dheekshith Kumar (32), Sandeep (23), Vivian Alvares (41), Sridatta (32), Rahul (23), Pradeep Kumar (35), Manish Shetty (21), Dhanush (31), Dheekshith (27), and Kishore Kumar (37). The case has been registered under Section 103(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, pertaining to hate crimes and mob lynching.
Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal assured a comprehensive investigation but stopped short of commenting on the communal angle.
The lynching, however, has intensified scrutiny on the Karnataka's #CongressGovt, with critics accusing it of failing to prevent growing anti-Muslim violence in the coastal state.
The attack on Ashraf came amid a nationwide surge in anti-Muslim sentiment, following the April 22 militant attack in #Pahalgam, #JammuAndKashmir. In the aftermath, multiple reports have surfaced of #Kashmiri students being assaulted on campuses, #Muslim vendors being forced out of cities, and Muslim workers being threatened or attacked.
A mob consisting largely of Hindu men lynch a man in Mangaluru.
The victim - Ashraf - a native of Kerala’s Wayanad was working menial jobs in Mangaluru.
Karnataka’s home minister, instead of being more responsible, repeats unconfirmed claims of ‘pro-Pakistan slogans’ being raised as cause of the assault.
Police now say there is no credible evidence of these claims.
Those arrested are Sachin T (26), Devdas (50), Manjunath (32), Saideep (29), Nitesh Kumar alias Santosh (33), Dheekshith Kumar (32), Sandeep (23), Vivian Alvares (41), Sridatta (32), Rahul (23), Pradeep Kumar (35), Manish Shetty (21), Dhanush (31), Dheekshith (27) and Kishore Kumar (37)
How does any of this justify beating another human being to death?
South Canara, you are better than this. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jains have all lived and prospered in Tulu nadu. We cannot go the way of others and lynch based on religion.

@ajaydevgn@KicchaSudeep Hi Vimal pan bro.. We have 22 official languages and India has no national language.
@KGFTheFilm ನೋಡಿ ಬೆಂಕಿ ಬಿದ್ದಿದಿಯ? ಐಸ್ ಇಟ್ಕೊ.. finally what angle you looks like hero?
Informed 🇮🇳 Prime Minister @narendramodi about 🇺🇦 countering Russian aggression. 🇮🇳 appreciates the assistance to its citizens during the war and 🇺🇦 commitment to direct peaceful dialogue at the highest level. Grateful for the support to the Ukrainian people. #StopRussia
The main agenda of Sangha Parivar is to deny education to Muslim girls in the name of Hijab.
@narendramodi speaks about Beti Bachao, Beti Padao. Is he not aware of this incident?
#ಶಿಕ್ಷಣಹಕ್ಕು
Constitution has given the right to practice any religion which means one can wear any clothes according to their religion.
Prohibiting 'Hijab' wearing students from entering school is a violation of fundamental rights.
#ಶಿಕ್ಷಣಹಕ್ಕು
It's been a strength of India that everyone is free to wear what they want. If the hijab is disallowed, what about the Sikh turban? The Hindu's forehead mark? The Christian's crucifix? This college is going down a slippery slope. Let the girls in. Let them study. Let THEM decide.
