    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: The Rajasthan Police has arrested two of the eight accused wanted in the alleged abduction and murder of two Muslim men from Bharatpur in Rajasthan by suspected cow vigilantes in Haryana, an official said on Friday.

    Inspector General of Police (Bharatpur) Gaurav Srivastava said that the accused Monu Rana alias Narendra and Gogi alias Monu were detained from an isolated hilly area in Dehradun.

    The accused involved in the case have connections with Bajrang Dal as well as other organisations including Haryana Gau Raksha Dal, he said.

    Nasir (25) and Junaid alias Juna (35), both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district, were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on February 15.

    Their bodies were found inside a burnt car in Loharu in Bhiwani in Haryana on the morning of February 16.

    During the initial interrogation, both the accused revealed that Junaid and Nasir were abducted on suspicion of cow smuggling. They were badly thrashed and when they failed to fetch any information regarding the smuggling from them, they took them to a local police station in Haryana but the policemen refused to take action seeing the condition they were in, the IG said.

    “When Haryana police refused to take action against the duo seeing their condition, the accused took Nasir and Junaid and murdered them. The bodies were put in a vehicle and it was burnt,” he said.

    On February 17, one of the accused Rinku Saini was arrested and based on his disclosure and other evidence collected by the police, eight others were identified and teams were sent to several states in search of them.

    The other six accused, each carrying a cash reward of Rs 10,000 each, are still absconding and being searched.

    Apart from them, the police have issued notices to several other suspects including office bearers and members of Haryana Gau Raksha Dal but no one has turned up.

    However, the arrest of the two accused will expedite the investigation of the case, IG Srivastava said.

    On the involvement of cow vigilante Monu Manesar, the IG said that he was on the suspect list and his role will become clear after the questioning of Monu Rana and Gogi.

    The officer said that several teams of the Rajasthan police camped in different districts undercover in search of the accused.

    The accused were brought to Bharatpur and placed under arrest on Thursday night under sections 302 (murder), 365 (abduction), 367 (abduction to subject a person to grievous hurt), 368 (wrongful confinement), 201 (Causing disappearance of evidence) and 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy) and 143 (being a member of an unlawful assembly) of the Indian Penal Code.

    They were produced before a local court where the magistrate remanded them to police custody for 10 days.

  • Bhiwani killings: Owaisi slams Haryana CM over lack of progress

    Bhiwani killings: Owaisi slams Haryana CM over lack of progress

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday slammed Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar for the lack of progress in the Bhiwani killings case in which two Muslim men from Rajasthan Junaid and Nasir, were kidnapped, lynched, and charred to death in a car in Haryana’s Bhiwani.

    “Haryana CM is more worried about a boy’s election in a London college than he is about Junaid and Nasir being burnt to death in his state. The terrorists who did this had state patronage. It’s been over a month, only one accused has been arrested,” he tweeted, as a response to a video in which the Haryana CM was demanding a probe into the episode of Karan Kataria, a law student studying in UK who was disqualified from running for the general secretary post of the London School of Economics Student Union citing ‘election rule violation’.

    A court in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district sent one of the accused, Rinku Saini, to police remand on February 18 in connection with the death of two Muslim men from the state whose charred bodies were found in a car in Haryana after they were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes.

    Station House Office, Gopalgarh, Ramnaresh Meena said no fresh arrest has been made in the case so far.

    “The arrested accused Rinku Saini was produced before the court today from where he was sent to five days police remand. The accused will be further interrogated,” the SHO said.

    The family members of the deceased had named five men linked to the Bajrang Dal in their complaint to the police.

    Saini, 32, a resident of Firozpur Jhirka in Haryana’s Nuh district, was arrested on the basis of interrogation and technical analysis on Friday night.

    He works as a taxi diver and was involved with a cow vigilante group, the police said.

    The last rites of the two, who were related to each other, were conducted on February 17 after authorities announced a financial aid of Rs 20.5 lakh to each of the affected families.

    One of the key accused in the case is Mohit Yadav alias Monu Manesar, the Gurugram district president of Bajrang Dal.

    He was earlier named in an attempt to murder case registered at Pataudi police station in Gurugram on February 7.

    While on the run, Manu Manesar released a video message claiming his innocence in the Rajasthan case.

  • On Bhiwani killings, Owaisi says Cong govt failed Muslims miserably in Raj

    On Bhiwani killings, Owaisi says Cong govt failed Muslims miserably in Raj

    [ad_1]

    Jodhpur: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday urged Muslims to participate in politics to get justice and to evolve from being “vote givers” to “vote givers.”

    Owaisi, who was in Jodhpur for a day, has been exploring possibilities for his party in Rajasthan, which is up for elections at the year end.

    “Muslims only give votes and do not take votes like many other communities such as Jat, Rajputs, Gujars etc. These communities have not only given votes but taken votes too and have solved many of their problems unlike Muslims,” said Owaisi.

    He said Muslims need to learn from these communities and build their leadership.

    “Democracy is not just about casting your vote. You also need to participate in it. Only then you will be able to do something for yourself,” he said.

    “We want to offer Rajasthan a political alternative, where BJP and Congress are engaged in a musical chair game,” he said.

    Owaisi said Congress government in the state has disappointed Muslims miserably, and referred to the murder of Junaid and Naseer in Haryana by cow vigilantes.

    “Why did Ashok Gehlot and other Muslim legislators of Rajasthan not visit the families of victims when they could have done it instantly. It took Gehlot a long time to visit them and that too after we criticised them,” he said.

    Owaisi also criticised the BJP-led Haryana government over its handling of the Junaid and Naseer murder case and called one of the prime accused in the case, Monu Manesar, a “Darling of RSS.”

    “Monu and all other accused are RSS-backed. Monu is the darling of RSS so there is no question of action against him. How can the BJP government of Haryana take action against him,” he said.

    Owaisi alleged that Monu and his gang, with the patronage of RSS, are doing extortion, murders, terrorism, and firing in the name of gau-raksha.

    “They are a militia. Criminals are being promoted. I would not be surprised if Monu is given a ticket by the BJP in the next election,” he said.

    The Hyderabad-based leader also accused the BJP of trying to appease Muslims only to impress the Arab world.

    “Had it not been so, it would have given the Pasmanda Muslims a status of Dalit. They have to just amend a 1950 presidential order,” he said.

    Owaisi called Congress leaders arrogant, self-obsessed, and removed from reality.

    “Congress is losing due to internal fights, ideological compromise. It has no strength and vision left. The party is altogether engaged in politics of opportunities and convenience,” he said.

    Bhiwani killings suspect Monu Manesar fled to Nepal: Report

    [ad_1]

    Prime suspect in the Bhiwani killings case Monu Manesar, who belongs to the Bajrang Dal, has allegedly fled the country to neighboring Nepal.

    According to Tribune India, a senior Rajasthan police official, who wished to remain anonymous, said the whereabouts of Monu and four other suspects were received while intercepting the calls he made to his accomplices under surveillance and recording their financial transactions.

    “We have got intel inputs in the matter but can’t reveal much at this stage,” the senior official was quoted by Tribune India.

    Monu and his associates have been charged with kidnapping and murdering two Muslim men – Junaid and Nasir. On February 16, the charred bodies of Nasir and Junaid were found inside a burnt car in Loharu in Bhiwani in Haryana.

    They have been booked under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) 143 (unlawful assembly), 365 (kidnapping), 367 (grievously hurt after kidnapping), and 368 (wrongfully keeping in confinement) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

    Nasir (25) and Junaid alias Juna (35), both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on February 15 and their bodies were found inside a burnt car in Loharu in Bhiwani in Haryana on the morning of February 16.

    Nasir is survived by his wife, while Junaid is survived by his wife, six children and a mentally challenged brother.

    A total of nine accused, including Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar who runs a cow protection group, and Srikant Pandit, whose mother lodged a complaint against the Rajasthan Police, have been named in the case so far.

    Earlier in the day, chief minister Ashok Gehlot met the bereaved families of Junaid and Nasir and announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh each.

    “The state government will provide Rs 5 lakh compensation each to the wives and children of both the deceased. An amount of Rs 1 lakh each will be provided as cash whereas a fixed deposit of Rs 4 lakh each will be done so that the dependent families do not face any problem in the education and marriage of the kids,” he told reporters.

  • Bhiwani Killings: Police book protesters for blocking Delhi-Jaipur highway

    Bhiwani Killings: Police book protesters for blocking Delhi-Jaipur highway

    [ad_1]

    Gurugram: Police have booked around 150 people for blocking the Delhi-Jaipur highway on Tuesday while opposing the arrest of Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar in the abduction-murder of two men from Rajasthan.

    The incident had occurred during the mahapanchayat organised by Hindu groups in support of Monu, who runs a cow protection group and is among the nine people booked in the case by Rajasthan police.

    The FIR was registered on Tuesday night under sections 147 (riots), 149 (unlawful assembly) and 283 (obstruction in public way) of the IPC and Section 8 B of the National Highway Act 1956 at Manesar police station, the police said on Wednesday.

    The protest was held following claims that the Rajasthan police team was conducting a raid at Monu’s residence in Manesar village.

    According to a complaint filed by sub-inspector Deepak, posted at Manesar police station, about 150 persons had blocked the Delhi-Jaipur highway on Tuesday due to which a large number of vehicles were stranded on both sides and commuters had to face a lot of problems.

    The complainant has named four of the accused in his complaint. They were identified as Arun Yadav, Umed Yadav, Monu Yadav and Kailash Yadav.

    A senior police officer said that action will be taken as per the law.

    Nasir and Junaid, both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on February 15 and their bodies were found in a charred car in Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani the next day.

    The family members of the deceased had named five men, including Monu, in their complaint to the police. Four others were also booked later.

    One Rinku Saini has been arrested, while others are on the run.

  • Rajasthan police release pictures of 8 accused in Bhiwani killings

    Rajasthan police release pictures of 8 accused in Bhiwani killings

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: Rajasthan police have released pictures of eight out of nine accused reportedly involved in the killing of two men from Rajasthan whose charred bodies were found inside a burnt vehicle in Haryana’s Bhiwani district on February 16.

    The police so far have arrested one accused Rinku Saini, while eight accused are still absconding. The Mahindra Scorpio vehicle used in the incident has also been recovered from a cow shelter in Haryana’s Jind.

    The police said that Saini was arrested under the case registered at Gopalgarh police station of Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district.

    Saini, during interrogation, gave certain clues on the basis of which, eight accused have been identified and raids were conducted in many districts of Haryana to nab the absconding accused.

    According to the police, accused Anil and Shrikant are residents of Nuh, while Kalu Kaithal, Monu Rana, Vikas Jind, Shashikant Karnal and Gogi are from Bhiwani.

    The raids are being conducted by three teams of Rajasthan police in collaboration with the Haryana police.

    Several important clues have come out of the interrogation of accused Saini, officials asserted, adding that the police conducted raids in Haryana’s Jind on the basis of these clues and recovered the vehicle from a cow shed.

    This was reportedly the same vehicle in which victims – Junaid (35) and Nasir (28) – were taken to Bhiwani after being beaten up. According to the police, traces of blood have also been found on the seat of the vehicle.

    Officials said that samples of both the skeletons found in the Bolero vehicle and blood traces on the recovered Scorpio vehicle have been collected. Further actions will be taken once the report from the collected samples comes.

    Interestingly, the name of Monu Manesar, about whom there has been maximum uproar since last one week, has not emerged in the initial investigation by Rajasthan Police.

    Even, the eight pictures released by the Rajasthan police do not comprise the picture of Monu Manesar.

    The deceased Junaid and Nasir were residents of Ghatmika village of Rajasthan’s Bharpur district. The village is near the Haryana border.

    Junaid’s cousin Ismail had lodged a case of kidnapping and assault of both at Gopalgarh police station (Bharatpur) on February 15. On the next day, the charred bodies of both Junaid and Nasir were found in a Bolero vehicle in Loharu town of Bhiwani district in Haryana.

    Bhiwani killings: ‘Even if burnt corpses of Junaid, Nasir..’, Owaisi slams Khattar

    [ad_1]

    On the recent horirifying incident in Haryana’s Bhiwani where two Muslim men from Rajasthan were allegedly kidnapped, lynched and burnt in a Bolero car, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday slammed Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar and asked if even the burnt corpses of Junaid and Nasir, the two dead victims couldnt wake up his conscience, it doesnt matter whether he is the chief minister or not.

    “If your police are done with the meat of Biryani on Eid, then tell me when will the killers of Junaid-Nasir be arrested? When will those who spew venom in the Mahapanchayat go to jail? If even the burnt corpses of Junaid-Nasir could not wake up your conscience, then it is the same whether you are Chief Minister or not,” he said.

    Owaisi was referring to the Hindu Mahapanchayat that was organised by the main accused Monu Manesar’s supporters where an open threat to the Rajasthan police was issued.

    One of the speakers said, “If the Rajasthan police dare to come and arrest Monu from his home, then we assure them that they will not go back in their two feet.”

    “It is because of Monu and his people that Manesar is able to save cows for the last eight years. Had it not been for them, the village would have turned into a mini Pakistan,” the speaker added among cheers from the crowd.

    The Mahapanchayat at Manesar’s Baba Bhimsa temple was attended by villagers who proudly regarded Monu as the ‘Pride of Hindus’.

    “Khattar saheb has washed his hands off the responsibility of investigating the case and has put the entire responsibility on the Rajasthan Police. While the murder took place in Haryana. This clearly shows that the BJP government of Haryana is trying to save the cow vigilante gang.

    Even before this incident, all these criminals were working under the protection of BJP government and Haryana Police. It is BJP’s policy to save the oppressor and not give justice to the oppressed. Dayar e yaar teri josh e junoon pe salaam Mere watan tere daman e tar tar ki khair,” he further tweeted.

    Bhiwani Killings: Congress Haryana MLA blames state govt, police

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: Congress MLA Aftab Ahmed on Sunday blamed the Haryana government and the state’s police for the alleged abduction and murder of two men whose charred bodies were found in the state’s Loharu area.

    Ahmed visited Ghatmeeka village in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district to meet the family members of Nasir and Junaid alias Juna, who were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on Wednesday. Their bodies were found inside a burnt car in Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani on Thursday morning.

    Blaming the Haryana government, Ahmed said it should have taken action when the incident came to light.

    Lives could have been saved if action was taken, he said.

    “The Haryana government and the police are completely responsible for the incident. We will raise the issue in the Assembly.

    “I appeal to the (Ashok) Gehlot government (in Rajasthan) to give strict punishment to those who let down humanity and hang them to give justice to the victims’ families,” Ahmed told reporters in Bharatpur.

    Rinku Saini, who has been arrested by Rajasthan Police in connection with the alleged abduction and murder, has told investigators that the duo was taken to Haryana Police by cow vigilantes, an officer said on Saturday.

    The police will verify the claim, the officer added.

    The claim corroborates the statement of Mohammad Jabir, a relative of the victim, that the two were first taken to the Firozpur Jhirka police station in Haryana but police refused take their custody as their condition was serious.

    Junaid had a criminal record of cattle smuggling and five cases were registered against him at different police stations, a Rajasthan Police officer said.

    The last rites of the victims were conducted on Friday after authorities announced a financial aid of Rs 20.50 lakh to each of their families.

    A Rajasthan court on Saturday sent Saini to police remand for five days in connection with the case while Haryana authorities moved to cancel the arms licence of Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar, who is among the four evading arrest.
