Hapur: A second video of mob lynching in Western Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur has surfaced on social media where a 45-year-old man was beaten to death and his 65-year-old companion, seriously injured.

Blood can be seen on head and clothes of Samiyuddin, who survived the assault and is in hospital while 45-year-old Qasim died of his injuries.
The attack took place on Monday, at Hapur's Pilakhuwa village, about 70 kilometres from Delhi.

On Friday, families of both the victims held a press conference in Delhi, alleging attempts by the police to cover up the incident by shifting the narrative to a road rage case over right of way for motorcycles.
"I went to the hospital and asked my brother about a stain on his thumb after I noticed it, he told me that he has no memory... the police wrote something and were asking us to sign, we were reluctant and that's when they would have taken by brother's thumb impression", alleged Mehruddin, the brother of Samiyuddin.
