2020 Assam mob lynchings
Lynching of Jahnobi Gogoi
Muslim neighbours threaten to kill Jahnobi Gogoi in Nazira district for watching Ramayana serial during Ramzan. In a shocking incident, two locals, Samiruddin Ali and Mobidul Rahman attacked a poor Hindu woman in Assam’s Nazira district, for ‘watching TV in her house during the month of Ramzan’. The Muslim neighbours prohibited the woman from watching TV, citing Ramzan. After this, they allegedly gathered in large numbers with sharp weapons and started assaulting the woman. They attempted to murder her by strangulating her.{{cite news |title=Muslim neighbours try to strangulate Hindu woman for watching TV during Ramzan in Assam |url=https://hindupost.in/news/muslim-neighbours-try-to-strangulate-hindu-woman-for-watching-tv-during-ramzan-in-assam/ |access-date=29 September 2023 |work=Hindu Post (hindupost.in) |publisher=Hindu Media Forum |date=6 May 2020}}
