Salam Sulaiman, was stripped naked, tied to an electricity post and tortured for hours in India.
The brutal attack was allegedly carried out by a gang of five men Azhikode, in Kerala, in southern India, because he was ‘roaming around suspiciously’ near his home.
Salam Sulaiman, who was left bloodied and bruised following the savage beating told police his torturers had set on him because he was acting ‘suspiciously’ close to his home.
