The man, seemingly unaware of the violation perpetrated upon him by the barber is seen giving a thumbs up to the camera with a smile on his face as the clip ends.

The video of the stomach-churning act sparked protests by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and activists of other right-wing Hindu groups, following which Yusuf was arrested by the police and booked under relevant laws.

On Thursday, the district administration officials in Kannauj razed Yusuf’s salon with a bulldozer, stating that it was built on state-owned land.
