New Delhi:
Deepak Kumar, a gymnasium owner in Uttarakhand who identified himself as “Mohammad Deepak” while defending a 70-year-old Muslim shopkeeper from alleged Bajrang Dal members, is now facing a severe economic boycott.
Before the controversy, Hulk Gym – located on Badrinath Road in Kotdwar – boasted 150 members. That number has since plummeted to just 15. The financial strain is significant: Deepak pays Rs 40,000 in monthly rent for the gym floor and an additional Rs 16,000 for a home loan installment. Currently, the family relies on his 70-year-old mother’s tea stall to cover basic household expenses
