Gau Rakshak Dal issues open threats to Rajasthan Police for investigating Junaid-Nasir murder

When the police were doing their job, VHP-bajrang Dal briefly jammed the Highway to obstruct them

Sabrangindia 22 Feb 2023

Hindu Mahapanchayat

"The police will not be able to walk back on their feet," is a threat being issued to Rajasthan Police doing their job of nabbing culprits in the double murder of Muslim men whose charred bodies were found in a burnt vehicle in Haryana. A Hindu mahapanchayat was held in Baba Bhishma Temple, Manesar, Haryana, by Gau Rakshak Dal on Tuesday. The person addressing the meeting said, “we respect the police but if in this false case the Rajasthan police, they harass our people then Rajasthan police will not walk back on their own feet.”

This threat was issued openly to a big crowd and was even streamed live on social media. The panchayat was held in support of Monu Manesar, the Bajrang Dal leader who is known to have been a perpetrator in many cow vigilantism cases.

 

Meanwhile, VHP and Bajrang Dal have also rallied in Monu’s support. When they came to know that Rajasthan Police was going to raid his residence, both groups blocked the NH48 highway.

A video surfaced on Monday of the SHO of Gopalgarh police station in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur where he can be seen detailing the incident of the killing of Junaid and Nasir. He has said that the two were beaten mercilessly by cow vigilantes and took them to Haryana Police who refused to take them in custody looking at their condition. He said that one of them had already died due to the assault and the accused then took both of them and put them in the car and set it on fire in the forest on Bhiwani. Monu Rana has been mentioned as one of the accused. The video appears to have been taken stealthily without the knowledge of the SHO.

 

The developments in the case

Only one FIR has been registered in the case which is in Rajasthan, under sections 143 (unlawful assembly) as well as sections pertaining to kidnapping 365, 367 and 368 as also 302 (murder).

The accused in police custody, Riknu Saini has alleged that they had taken Junaid and Nasir to Ferozepur Jhirka police station, Haryana where the police refused to take them in custody on charges of cow smuggling and sent them away as they feared that the duo would die in custody.

Nuh SP Varun Singla has formed a team to probe the allegations on Haryana police. "To probe the allegations against CIA, Ferozepur Jhirka, a special team has been formed led by ASP Usha Kundu," he said. "If our men are found involved, action will be taken," the SP said, reported Quint.

At least three accused, namely Rinku, Lokesh and Shrikant have been working as Haryana police’s informers, The Indian Express reported. 

Junaid and Nasir were tortured for several hours to extract information on the sources of cattle and their trafficking operations, Rajasthan Police sources familiar with the ongoing investigation have told The Print. Bharatpur Inspector General of Police (IGP) Gaurav Srivastava told the news portal that 8 accused have been identified as being present at the crime scene, and in total 12 people are involved in the crime.
