Hindutva Group Attacks Sufi Poet's Shrine in Mussoorie
A group of people who follow a specific Hindu ideology, called Hindu Raksha Dal, attacked and damaged a shrine dedicated to a famous Sufi poet named Baba Bulleh Shah in Mussoorie.
They used hammers to break the shrine and recorded a video of their actions.
The police have started an investigation, but the Muslim community is upset and threatening to protest if the attackers are not arrested soon.
