NEW DELHI — Uttar Pradesh Police have arrested four members of the All India Hindu Mahasabha for killing cows in Agra with the intention of framing Muslim men they held a grudge against.
The police on Saturday stated that some members of the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha butchered cows in order to instigate communal violence during the Ram Navami procession in Agra.
Uttar Pradesh has a strict law against cow slaughter. It carries a severe penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a fine of Rs 5 lakh.
According to the police, Sanjay Jat, the Hindu Mahasabha’s national spokesperson, was the chief conspirator. Many others were also reported to be part of the plot. A man named Jitendra Kushwaha reported the cow slaughter at Etmaduddaula police station.
Amar Ujala reported that the purported cow slaughter occurred on March 29, the eve of Ram Navami, in Gautam Nagar, situated in the vicinity of Itimad ud Daulah police station of Agra.
On that day, individuals affiliated with the All India Hindu Mahasabha arrived at the site, alleging that they had found beef inside the caves. Subsequently, Jitendra Kushwaha filed a complaint with the police.
The First Information Report (FIR) identified Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Nakim, and Mohammad Shanu, residents of the area, as suspects.
Following this, Hindutva supporters gathered outside the police station to demand the detention of the accused. The Telegraph reported that two individuals, Imran Qureshi and Shanu, and a fourth suspect were arrested the following day.
Upon interrogation, the police discovered that the detained individuals had no involvement in the cow slaughter incident. Instead, law enforcement officials claimed that the national spokesperson of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha was the primary orchestrator of the conspiracy.
