It is said that the holy days of the holy month of Islam are going on now, But despite this, one act of terror by Islamists is coming out one after the other across the country. In the latest development, two Hindu youths in Madhya Pradesh found it to be so heavy to hear the bhajan of Sri Ram that a mob of Islamists surrounded both of them and tried to kill them. Luckily, other Hindus passing by the way started interfacing after hearing the screams of these two and both of them somehow managed to escape from the hands of the Islamic mob.

Actually, The case is related to the Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh. Rahul Rathore, a 27-year-old e-rickshaw driver, and his associate Saurabh Kapalia were mobbed by an Islamist mob because he was listening to the hymn of Bhagwan Sri Ram in his e-rickshaw. When he was passing through 12 localities of Sadar, Then some people associated with a particular class (Muslim) religion present there stopped them and asked to stop bhajan, after which both of them stopped the hymn of Bhagwan Ram. Still, even on this, these religious people did not calm down. They caught hold of e-rickshaw drivers Rahul Rathore and Saurabh Kapalia and took them inside, Where a large number of Islamic crowds gathered and started killing them both. Then, some Hindus also came to know about the incident, and they started reaching where both of them were being killed. Somehow, these two could save their lives.

During this time, a young man from the crowd who came to the rescue was attacked with a knife by an unknown person from the Islamists. Guddu Mali, who runs a flower garland shop in 12 localities here, has a knife in his chest. He is currently undergoing treatment. The incident took place late March 30 night. It is being told that the time was from 10:30 to 11 at night. BJP MLA from Naryavali Pradeep Lariya and Hindu leader Kapil Swami have said that the mob of Islamists did not stop even after this. Stones were thrown at Hindu houses continuously till late night, The sword was constantly being challenged from the front. So far, 17 people have been arrested.

Police from all four police stations of the city reached the spot with Vajra vehicles. Police fired 10 to 12 rounds of tear gas shells and used mild force to disperse the mob. The heavy police force, including Superintendent of Police Abhishek Tiwari, was present at the spot till late at night and reached here for the second day on Sunday. The police force has been deployed here since the incident. So far, 17 people have been arrested on the basis of CCTV footage. Section 144 is in force in the area. For now, the situation in the area remains tense.

Rahul Rathore talks about his story, How Islamists attacked him

Rahul Rathore, an e-rickshaw driver, said in his complaint that he was stopped by another community (Muslims) near 12 Muhal and started assaulting him while disputing him for playing the bhajan of Bhagwan Sri Ram. His auto was also broken. He was attacked by more than 100 people. Rahul Rathore told that he was going with his friend Saurabh Kapalia. Then, this dispute happened. The accused beat Rahul and Saurabh fiercely; someone also attacked a young man named Guddu Mali, who came to the rescue in the dispute.

In this regard, the police say that on the basis of CCTV footage, they are constantly engaged in identifying the accused. 17 have been caught, more people will be arrested soon. No kind of gathering is allowed under the Cantt police station area. Section 144 is also imposed due to the code of conduct.

Naryavali MLA Pradeep Lariya was informed about the controversy. Several Hindu outfit leaders, including BJP leader Jagannath Guraiya, reached the Cantt police station and demanded strict action from the police. The e-rickshaw driver and the youth who attacked them with knives and pelted stones are adamant about the demand for an FIR against the accused and bulldozing their houses.
