Bhiwani/Bharatpur: A day after the charred bodies of two men were recovered from an SUV in Loharu, situated in Haryana's Bhiwani district on Thursday, Monu Manesar - one among the accused mentioned in the FIR - put out a video message on social media on Friday, denying any link to the incident. Monu, the coordinator of Bajrang Dal's Manesar mandal who has been, as per reports, active in the area as a 'Gau Rakshak', claimed that allegations against him as well as other members of his team were baseless.
The message comes after the family of the deceased, in the police complaint, alleged that those who abducted the duo from Rajasthan's Bharatpur, near the Haryana border, were from the Bajrang Dal. No confirmation has been received from the police in this regard, who said investigation was ongoing to ascertain whether the incident was one of cow vigilantism.
"Allegations levelled against us at the Gopalgarh Police Station are completely baseless. The situation at hand is extremely unfortunate, but no Bajrang Dal team was present at the spot. We got to know about it from social media, and demand harshest punishment to be dealt to the accused. I request everyone to assist the police in their investigation, which I, too, will follow" Manesar said in the clip.
