What happened with Saleem Wastik?
Saleem Wastik, a well-known YouTuber who openly calls himself an ex-Muslim and often appears on TV panel debates, was brutally attacked last week in his home in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
Two men stabbed him multiple times, leaving him fighting for his life. The whole thing was caught on CCTV. In the footage, you see the two attackers, Zeeshan and his brother Gulfam, walking right into Saleem’s house wearing kurta pyjamas and jackets.
They kept their helmets on the whole time. They didn’t waste a second. As Saleem sat on his sofa, watching something on his phone, they rushed at him and started stabbing him.
The video is almost four minutes long, and honestly, it’s hard to watch. Blood stains quickly appeared on the floor as the two men attacked Saleem. You can clearly hear them shouting, “You are insulting our Prophet, you are insulting our Lord.”
The attack was vicious. Saleem ended up with serious wounds on his neck, abdomen, and ear. Police said they even tried to slit his throat.
Neighbours and his family didn’t hesitate. They rushed him to the closest hospital, but his injuries were so bad he was moved to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital in Delhi, where doctors are still treating him.
Saleem’s son, Usman, filed a case with the police. Both attackers had bounties of Rs 1 lakh on their heads. Police later tracked them down in separate encounters. Zeeshan died on March 1, and Gulfam died from his injuries two days later.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath spoke out after the attack: “Those who play with law and order will not be spared. There is no place for terror in Uttar Pradesh, and the law will take its course.”
