In UP's Muzaffarnagar, burqa-clad woman buys liquor, threatened with beheading; 3 held

AGRA: Three persons, including two brothers with criminal antecedents, have been arrested in UP's Muzaffarnagar on Monday, after a purported video in which a burqa-clad woman being threatened with "beheading" went viral on social media.
The woman, who seems to be in her 30s, had apparently gone to buy alcohol from a liquor shop when she was stopped by Baku alias Shahanawaz, 40, Adil Ahmed, 30, and his brother Sajid Ahmed, 35 -- all from the same locality. The men warned her of "consequences", if she tried to do it again. A passerby who shot the video, later uploaded the two-minute clip online.
In the video, one of the men could be heard saying in a threatening tone, "Why are you buying alcohol here, you don't know me, I've been to prison many times... I will behead you right now." The other two soon joined in and let the woman go after giving her a "warning".
Speaking about the matter, DSP, Muzaffarnagar, Vikram Ayush, said, "The incident took place on Sunday evening. Taking cognisance of the matter, three men have been arrested. They will be produced before the magistrate soon."
SHO of Nagar Kotwali, Mahaveer Singh, added, "All three have been booked for disturbing peace and threatening the woman. There are other cases against the two brothers for past criminal activities in the locality. No police complaint has been filed by the woman so far."
