Burnt bodies of 2 Muslim men found in Haryana. A kidnapping case has been filed against five men who are allegedly cow vigilantes, one day after the burned bodies of two Muslim men were discovered in a car in Haryana.
According to their families’ police report, Nasir, 25, and Junaid, 35, had been taken from Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district on Wednesday.
Nasir and Junaid’s burned bodies were discovered inside a Mahindra Bolero SUV on Thursday morning in the Bhiwani district of Haryana. The identity of Nasir and Junaid’s remains is still being determined by police.
Burnt bodies of 2 Muslim men found in Haryana. “The burnt bodies of two unidentified men have been found in the car. To ascertain whether the two men are the same who were kidnapped, our team has gone to the spot with the family members. After post-mortem and DNA analyses, their identification will be verified,” Bharatpur Inspector General Gaurav Srivastava said.
Whether the two were burnt alive or died in a fire that broke out in the car is being investigated. The families of the two kidnapped men identified the vehicle and said that the owner of the car was known to Nasir and Junaid.
The police said they were investigating whether cow vigilantism was involved in the deaths. Mr Srivastava said Junaid had five cases of cow smuggling against him while Nasir had no criminal record.
The five men accused of kidnapping Nasir and Junaid are Monu Manesar, Lokesh Singhia, Rinku Saini, Anil and Srikant. Monu Manesar is a member of the right-wing organization Bajrang Dal. All five accused allegedly claim to be cow vigilantes.
