With just a day to go for Id-ul-Fitr, Hasib should have been preparing to adorn the family dinner table with a sumptuous spread of kebabs , biryani and desserts.
But sitting on a bed in a poorly-lit room in Khandawali village of Faridabad on Saturday, festivities to mark the end of Ramzan are the farthest on Hasib’s mind.
“How are we going to celebrate Id now? All festivities have turned into mourning for us,” said Shahbuddin, Hasib’s fellow villager.
Attacked by 15 persons
On Thursday evening, Hasib, his brother Junaid and two of their friends were mercilessly attacked by a mob of about 15 persons on a local train after a dispute broke out over a seat.
