A cleric who was sleeping beside six kids at a mosque in Rajasthan's Ajmer was allegedly beaten to death by a group of unidentified assailants on Saturday night.
Mohammad Mahir was beaten to death using sticks by a group of three men, reports said. According to Ajmer police, the trio first threatened the children after storming the mosque at night. After they forced the minors to run away from the mosque, they launched a brutal attack on Mahir.
The police are yet to identify or trace the masked men who fled the religious institution soon after the crime. Mohammad Mahir had reached Ajmer just a couple of days back to teach children, India Today said in a report.
Ajmer residents, across communities, reached the mosque and demanded swift action.
