What is more shocking about the incident is that Laraib Hashmi, the attacker, recorded a video in which he acknowledged carrying out the attack and said that he did this to take revenge for disrespecting Prophet Muhammad.
After a shootout with the police, Hashmi tried to escape but was injured in the leg and taken into custody. The incident on Friday morning was the result of a disagreement between Hashmi and the bus conductor, Harikesh Vishwakarma (24), that escalated, according to reports from Prayagraj Police.
However, since the news went public, it went on to become one of the most hotly debated topics. Many people are comparing this attack with the killing of Kanahiya Lal, who was murdered last year for disrespecting Islam.
Why did Laraib Hashmi attack the bus conductor?
Laraib Hashmi, 20, is a first-year engineering student from Prayagraj. He is the son of Mohammed Yunus, a city farmer who lives in the Hajiganj neighborhood of Prayagraj.
According to the police, Lareb allegedly used a cleaver to assault a bus conductor in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, after they got into an argument about the ticket price. The suspected attacker’s allegation that he attacked the bus conductor for allegedly “insulting prophet Muhammad” has been refuted by the authorities.
The inflammatory video of the attacker went viral
Following the argument, Hashmi used a cleaver to viciously assault Vishwakarma. The bus conductor’s neck and other bodily parts were severely injured.
After this, Hashmi sprang out of the vehicle and fled into the university premises, seeking cover.
He supposedly took a video of himself inside the campus and posted it to social media. The accused is seen admitting to the act and accusing the victim of blasphemy and “insulting Prophet Muhammad” in the alleged video.
In addition, he is shown waving the cleaver he used to attack the conductor. In the video, he also abused Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
An attacker was arrested in an encounter
Hashmi was captured by police while hiding inside the campus. He reportedly shot at them and attempted to flee when a police squad came to retrieve the weapon he used to assault the bus conductor.
He was shot in the leg during the police’s retaliatory fire, and he was taken into custody. His gunshot injuries are being treated at this time.
