Mob ties the 22-year-old to a pole and beats him to death over allegations he stole ‘prasad’ or religious offering.

    Wajid, who sells vegetables in a pushcart, said his Hindu customers often offer him the prasad and he accepts it without a second thought. “Prasad is a gift from bhagwan or Allah. I do not refuse it.”

    Yeah, I feel like the same people who initially offer 'prasad' (food offerings to the Gods) and later beat him to death probably gave mixed messages to him...

      Fuck alright, I'll admit I missed that part. I retract my previous statement and feel like a fool. I'll leave the comment up to illustrate my lapse in judgement, just in case anyone else only skimmed the article and missed that like I did.
