A Muslim biryani vendor was shot dead in Agra, India, in what appears to be a hate-motivated attack, allegedly carried out by a self-proclaimed cow vigilante who claimed it was in retaliation for the recent attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The victim, identified as 27-year-old Gulfam Ali, was a restaurant worker at Shahid Ali Chicken Biryani in the Tajganj area. He was fatally shot by some assailants, while his colleague, 25-year-old Saif Ali, sustained injuries but survived. According to Indian media reports, the assailants—three men on a scooter, opened fire at the restaurant before fleeing the scene.
