A 50-year-old YouTuber, controversial for videos critical of a particular religion, was savagely attacked in Loni, leaving him gravely injured, police confirmed. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has mandated stringent enforcement.

Salim Ahmed, alias Salim Wastik, was assaulted at his office by helmet-wearing attackers who were lurking nearby. His critical injuries have necessitated treatment in Delhi's GTB Hospital, as locals and police describe the sequence of events.
