Bihar, May 24 -- A 66-year-old Muslim man, who was attacked by an angry mob of the Lohar community in Bihar's Madhubani district, succumbed to his injuries after ten days.

The incident occurred on May 12 when the deceased, Islam Nadaf, a resident of Ludgama village, was assaulted by a mob from the Lohar community.
