HYC Salman attempts suicide in Hyderabad 'Police Harassment'

Hyderabad Youth Courage (HYC) founder Salman Khan allegedly attempted suicide on Friday, August 14, with the group claiming that he took the extreme step due to police harassment over a case filed against him.

HYC shared a video of Khan being treated at a hospital on Facebook. In its post, HYC said, “Salman Khan HYC Suicide Attempt Due To Police And Government Harassment.”

The alleged suicide attempts came hours after the Mehdipatnam Police booked Khan, who is also a Bharat Rahstra Samithi (BRS) leader for sharing an objectionable poster of Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh. The complaint was submitted by V Laxman, a



resident of Mangalhat. He said that while he was scrolling on his phone, he came across videos of Salman Khan and two others erecting a poster with a footwear print on Singh’s photo.

The poster allegedly read “Hyderabad Youth Courage, a Signature for our Rasool Allah, Take Two Minutes of your valuable time, Sign, Stand, Show your love, Gustakh-E-Rasool Maloon Raja Singh (Raja Singh, the accursed one who insults the Prophet).”

The complainant alleged that Salman Khan was engaging in provocative and damaging acts of a religious nature, and displaying religious hatred content for the purpose of gaining benefits.
