In a shocking incident, two locals, Samiruddin Ali and Mobidul Rahman attacked a poor Hindu woman in Assam’s Nazira district, for ‘watching TV in her house during the month of Ramzan’. The Muslim neighbours prohibited the woman from watching TV, citing Ramzan. After this, they allegedly gathered in large numbers with sharp weapons and started assaulting the woman. They attempted to murder her by strangulating her.<ref>[https://www./Encyc/2020/5/4/Hindu-woman-assaulted-by-Muslim-neighbours-in-Assam-and-threatened-to-have-throats.html Hindu woman assulted by Muslim neighbours in Assam] {{Dead link|date=June 2021}}</ref><br />
