Speaking to the media after Monu Manesar’s arrest, SP Bharatpur, Mridul Kachawa said, “We have received information that Haryana Police has detained Monu Manesar, who is wanted in Nasir and Junaid (lynching) case. Haryana Police is carrying out its further procedure and our officers are in contact with them. When their procedure completes, (our) District Police will begin theirs.”
Monu Manesar alias Mohit Yadav is a Bajrang Dal member and cow vigilante. He hails from Manesar near Gurugram.
He is one of the key accused in connection with the murder of two men – Nasir (25) and Junaid (35)- from the Muslim community.
The two men were residents of Ghatmeeka village in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur and were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on 15 February. On the next day, their bodies were found in Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani inside a car that had been set ablaze.
A chargesheet in the case was filed by the Rajasthan Police and named Monu Manesar as an accused.
Monu Manesar is also accused of inciting violence in Haryana’s Nuh. The violence began on 31 July during a ‘Jal Abhishek Yatra’ organised by the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), and then spread to adjoining areas, including Gurugram.
The violence allegedly was triggered by rumours of Manesar attending the Yatra. He had posted a video a few days before the procession, claiming that he would attend it and also asked his supporters to come out in large numbers.
