Yogi Adityanath, taking strong exception of a brutal broad daylight murder of a Hindu youth Rachit Chaudhary (27) by 5 Muslim men in Jhalu, district Bijnore, Western UP on Friday morning, he ordered today NSA and fast track court proceedings against the accused today.
The Hindupost reported that 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 among the five Muslim murderers viz Shadab, Sariq, Shahbaz, Shehzad were apprehended by UP police along with their murder weapons while one got away. Police claims that the murder was done due to an old rivalry.
The brazen murder caused terror in the entire town and market area. Chillingly, in a video put out by Sudarshan News one of the accused can be seen audaciously telling, ‘Make sure our video comes on YouTube’ while they were being taken away by the police. As per reports, the murderers coldly smoked cigarettes and joked around after shooting Rachit, while he lay dead at their feet.
The ghastly murder made many netizens wonder why Rakesh Tikait, who is a self-appointed Jat leader is silent on Rachit’s murder, as the incident occurred in the same region of UP from where Tikait is trying to draw support for his protest against the agricultural reforms. Many in the social media demanded justice for Rachit with the hashtag #JusticeForRachit.
Notably, Tikait had welcomed the new farm laws when they were passed by Parliament, soon made a complete U-turn and has now emerged as a central figure of the protests, for his own political goals. Tikait and RLD have joined hands under the guise of protests keeping the UP 2022 elections in mind. They are also trying to build an alliance with Muslim leaders like SP’s Ghulam Mohammed.
Pertinently, Rakesh Tikait and his brother were accused of ‘communal incitement’ in the 2012 Muzaffarnagar riots that erupted after several incidents of Hindu women and girls were sexually assaulted, harassed and stalked by Muslims
The gruesome murder of Rachit caused an outrage among the Hindu community and local Hindus reportedly gathered outside the police station in Bijnore and demanded stringent action against Rachit’s murderers.
With jihadi-Naxal-Khalistani-Christian missionary friendly media desperately trying to create a narrative of a Jat-Muslim alliance in Western UP, Rachit Chaudhary’s murder and the increasing target of grooming Hindu girls by Muslims in love jihad cases in Western UP is bound to dash the hopes of the jihadi-Naxal friendly media.
