They started pelting stones at the car and hitting my friends."Mr Afroz phoned his uncle, Mohammad Yakub, who rushed to the spot but the villagers wouldn't listen to him either.Police later found a video of the altercation on the phone of a man who was allegedly part of the mob. He shared the video on a WhatsApp group with 200 members.
