New Delhi: After the brutal killing of Bajrang Dal worker Rinku Sharma in outer Delhi's Mangolpuri area, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leaders' have strongly condemned the incident and demanded the death penalty for accused.
VHP joint General Secretary, Surendra Jain visited the family of the deceased worker and termed the incident as unfortunate.
He said that criminals with a staunch mentality from other communities killed Sharma with knives in front of his family, but no leader has given a statement on this yet.
"No 'secular leader' has come out to criticize this incident, nor has anyone reached out to console the bereaved family," he alleged.
Reacting to the incident, VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal said that 'Islamic jihadis' lynched Sharma.
"Islamic jihadis are behind this incident, that have the protection of the country's secular gang," he claimed.
On Wednesday night, Rinku Sharma got into a heated argument with four men during a birthday party over shutting down of a food joint in the wake of some losses.
They were also seen slapping and threatening each other. Police revealed that the two sides had similar issues sometime back as well.
Later, the four accused went to Sharma’s house, stabbed him with a knife, and fled, said police.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, they said.
They added that all the four accused – Danish, Zahid, Mehtab, and Islam -- were arrested on Thursday.
