There are shocking claims made by the accused in the brute killings of two Muslim women from Bhiwani reports NDTV in an exclusive report. Rinku Saini, a taxi driver and member of the gau rakshak gang (a cow vigilante group) arrested a day ago, on February 17, has reportedly told investigators that they took the victims to the nearest police station in Haryana's Firozpur Jhirka while they were still alive, sources said.

The two Muslim men from Rajasthan, who were found charred to death in Haryana earlier this week in what is believed to be an attack by cow vigilantes, were first taken to the cops while still alive, police sources have told NDTV, in a shocking and sensational new revelation. Rajasthan Police sources, have told NDTV that both, 25-year-old Nasir and 35-year-old Junaid alias Juna were attacked by a group of four men after being suspected of smuggling cows for slaughter on Wednesday night in Haryana's Nuh. They were beaten and injured severely in the attack.

Rinku Saini, a taxi driver and member of the cow vigilante group who was arrested a day ago, has told investigators that they then took the two victims to the nearest police station in Haryana's Firozpur Jhirka, sources said.

What then transpired?

Sources from the Rajasthan police have clearly said that Saini and his group wanted Haryana Police to arrest Junaid and Nasir on charges of cow smuggling, but seeing the condition of the two half-dead men, the policemen at the station baulked and asked them to leave. The Haryana Police is yet to respond to the serious charge –their failure to nab the criminals behind the brutal attack tells its own tale.

Not long after, Junaid and Nasir died from their injuries. The terrified group of cow vigilantes then contacted their associates to brainstorm ways of disposing of the bodies, sources said. Finally, they

Finally the gau rakshaks (cow vigilantes) decide to take their Bolero SUV and both the bodies to Bhiwani, 200 km away. In the early morning of Thursday, both the bodies, along with the vehicle, were doused in petrol and set alight, police sources then said. According to Saini, they hoped that no one would be able to trace the bodies and the burnt vehicle back to them if they burnt it there, far away from the scene of the crime. However, Junaid and Nasir were identified from the chassis number of the Bolero.

According to sources from the Rajasthan Police, and as reported by NDTV, Monu Manesar of Bajrang Dal - one of the main suspects named by the families of the victims, was not involved in the kidnapping. However, he was in contact with the kidnappers and helped them along the way. Now, after the lives have been so brutally lost, several police teams are on the lookout for the rest of the killers. Besides Saini and Monu Manesar, the victim's families have named three others - Anil, Srikant, and Lokesh Singhla. 

While Haryana authorities appear to have moved to cancel the arms licence of Monu Manesar, who remains at large, questions have been raised about his political connections as photos of him with top leaders of the state's ruling BJP have been circulating on social media.

Meanwhile, a delegation of senior members of the CPI-M including polit bureau member Brinda Karat visited the village where family members of the two young men live. The report may be red here. The CPI-M has demanded a fair and prompt inquiry, Rs 50 lakh per family as death compensation and a government job for one family member of the deceased.
