Police in Rajasthan will question suspected cow vigilante Monu Manesar in connection with the murder of two Muslim men
Police in Rajasthan will question suspected cow vigilante Monu Manesar in connection with the murder of two Muslim men from the State whose charred bodies were recovered in Haryana's Bhiwani district in February, officials said on Wednesday.
Monu Manesar — booked by Rajasthan Police for the murder of Nasir and Junaid and accused by some of inciting the recent violence in Nuh — was nabbed on Tuesday.
While the Haryana Police did not confirm that the Bajrang Dal leader had been detained, an office-bearer of the outfit's parent organisation — the Vishva Hindu Parishad — said he was picked up in Gurugram's Manesar.
He was handed over to the Rajasthan Police after it obtained a transit remand from a court in Nuh. Monu Manesar —whose official name is Mohit Yadav — was then brought to Bharatpur and produced in a local court, which sent him to two-day police remand.
Superintendent of Police (Deeg) Brijesh Jyoti Upadhyay on Wednesday said the court sent Monu Manesar to two days in police remand. The police are interrogating him in connection with the murder of Junaid and Nasir.
In February, Monu Manesar was named in a FIR lodged by the Rajasthan Police after two men, Nasir (25) and Junaid (35), were found dead in a burnt car in Loharu in Haryana's Bhiwani.
The men from Ghatmika village in Rajasthan's Deeg (formerly Bharatpur) district were allegedly abducted by suspected cow vigilantes who then crossed the border into Haryana.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
