Beaten for having a moustache
Indians have been using social media to support two men attacked for having moustaches.
Both men belong to the Dalit (formerly untouchable) caste.
Their alleged attackers have been reported as being Rajput men from a high status in India's caste system and it's claimed they objected to men of a lower caste having moustaches.
It has led to some in India showing solidarity for the two attacked by sharing images of their own moustaches with the hashtags #MrDalit and #DalitWithMoustache.
