A Hindu youth Rachit Chaudhary (27) was brutally murdered by 5 Muslim men in Jhalu, district Bijnore, Western UP on Friday morning. Rachit tried running into a shop to save his life, but the accused barged in there and shot at least 13 rounds at him with country pistols, killing him on the spot.
Four of the killers – Shadab, Sariq, Shahbaz, Shehzad – were apprehended by police along with their murder weapons while one got away. Police claim that the murder was done due to an old rivalry.
The whole town and market area are in terror after this brazen murder. Chillingly, in a video where the accused are seen being taken away by the police, one of them can be heard telling someone ‘Make sure our video comes on YouTube’. As per reports, the murderers even smoked cigarettes and joked around after shooting Rachit, while he lay dead at their feet.
Many netizens are wondering why Rakesh Tikait, who has been fashioned as a major Jat leader in the last few days by the left-liberal media, is silent on Rachit’s murder, seeing that it has occurred in the same region of UP from where Tikait is trying to draw support for his protest against the agricultural reforms.
Many are sharing the news with the hashtag #JusticeForRachit. Meanwhile, local Hindus have gathered outside the police station in Bijnore demanding stringent action against Rachit’s murderers.
Police are set to slap National Security Act (NSA) against all of the five murderers after the victim’s family- residents of Seohara Girdhar Village and BJP Yuva Morcha activists gheraoed the office of Bijnor SP Dharamveer Singh on Saturday.
With media desperate to create a narrative of a Jat-Muslim alliance in Western UP, it remains to be seen what impact Rachit Chaudhary’s murder and the continued grooming of Hindu girls by Muslim youth in West UP has on events in the coming days.
