As per reports, Faizan has alleged that the members of Hindu Makkal Katchi posted vulgar comments on his Facebook post and had threatened him with dire consequence. He has said that they later deleted the comments and hence he believed that the matter had ended. But later, he was allegedly attacked by men with masks on their face carrying 'dangerous weapons'. He has even alleged that of police had not come in time, he would have been killed by the mob.
