The father of that Muslim boy said that his son stopped at the temple to drink water from the tap because he was thirsty. Still, they started beating him after knowing that he's Muslim. He also suffered from an injury to the head even though he was not a regular visitor of the temple.

He further said while speaking that his son was badly beaten and humiliated. He said that he does not think that water belongs to any religion. He also does not think that water could be refused to a thirsty person belonging to any religion.
