As a Hyderabadi, I'm deeply disappointed. Our city has always been known for its composite culture. Such incidents tarnish our image. The attackers should be punished severely to set an example.

While I condemn the violence, I must ask - why are such incidents becoming common? Is there something wrong with our education system that's not teaching tolerance? We need better civic education in schools.

The fact that he was there with his friend Karthikeya shows they were enjoying the festival together. This mob mentality needs to stop. India is for everyone! 🙏

Good that police have registered the case under BNS. Hope justice is delivered quickly. Such incidents create fear among youth who just want to enjoy festivals with friends.

The other story about the mother killing her child is equally disturbing. What's happening to our society? Both stories show complete breakdown of basic human values.
