The maulana, Mohd Irshad, was walking towards his home in J J Colony in Bawana when he saw three men on a motorcycle driving rashly on November 28.
He advised them not to drive fast in the congested area, the police said.
The three men took offence to the maulana's advice and thrashed him and fled from the spot.
Police are probing the case but the accused have not been nabbed yet. They have recovered some footage in which the faces of the accused are visible but no arrests have been made so far.
