Mahapanchayat Demands Arrest Of BJP MLA In Alwar Mob Lynching Case, Rs 50 Lakh Compensation

A mahapanchayat of the Meo community in Haryana's Nuh has demanded that controversial BJP MLA Gyandev Ahuja should be arrested for his role in the conspiracy that resulted in the mob lynching of? Rakbar alias Akbar Khan earlier this month.

Panchayat leader Sher Mohammad demanded that the MLA should be booked for hatching the lynching conspiracy and should also get arrested, saying that he “gave provocative statements after the lynching and supported the accused.”

He also demanded that VHP Gau Raksha cell leader Naval Kishore Sharma, who was present at the spot during the lynching, should be made the main accused in the case.

The mahapanchayat has demanded that a compensation of Rs 50 lakh should be given to the victim’s family, a government job to his wife and a probe by the SIT in the case.

Meanwhile, the Ramgarh MLA who visited Lalawandi village where the lynching had taken place has demanded the release of the three accused claiming that they were 'gau rakshaks'.

Blaming police for the death of Akbar, Ahuja promised to assist the families of those, who have been arrested in fighting the legal battle.

Commenting on the Meo panchayat's demand for his arrest, Ahuja said “Akbar and Aslam were smuggling cows. Aslam too should be arrested now for smuggling the cow.”

Akbar and Aslam were returning home with two cows they had purchased when they were confronted by a mob in Lalawandi village accusing them of cattle smuggling.

While Aslam managed to flee the mob, Akbar wasn't so lucky. The 28-year-old who was badly injured died of the assault even before he was taken to a hospital.
