LGBTQ Fashion Influencer Attacked In Delhi's Connaught Place
A man who makes cool clothes and videos online, Param, was attacked in Delhi.
He's openly gay and a Sikh, and he makes fashion that shows both parts of who he is.
While filming a video, three men followed him.
They knew him from the internet and said mean, hateful things because he is gay.
They hit him and hurt his face.
This wasn't the first time something bad happened; his office was also broken into before.
Param feels scared and sad because it's hard to be himself and proud of who he is in India.
He says many people support him, but attacks like these make him feel vulnerable.
He wants to live his life openly, but it's becoming harder.
Fashion influencer Param Sahib Singh was physically assaulted in Connaught Place, New Delhi, while filming a video.
He reported that three attackers recognized him from social media and used homophobic and casteist slurs during the assault.
The attackers reportedly covered his face, dragged him down, and beat him, calling him a 'disgrace to Sikhism'.
This incident marks the second attack on Singh in six months, following the vandalism of his design studio.
Singh, who openly expresses his queer Sikh identity, stated the attacks have taken a significant emotional toll and highlighted the difficulties of living openly in Delhi.
