Gagandeep Singh, an Inspiration. Minority himself (Sikh) he stood up and protected Muslim man from Hindutva (Hindu extremist) mob threatening to kill him and his Hindu gf for dating. Killings have been regular w/ PM Modi’s reign. Singh received threats frm Hindutva for doing this https://t.co/EU5ZxHTtJi

I saw the video where that Sikh officer protects the man in Uttarakhand from the mob. Without getting into the issue for which the mob was after him, i think the office did a good job there. You don’t see Indian police officers doing this, often.
