Rajasthan: Man climbs mobile tower, demands arrest of all accused in Bharatpur abduction-murder case

A relative of two men, who were allegedly abducted from Bharatpur in February by suspected cow vigilantes and later their charred bodies found in Haryana, has climbed a mobile tower demanding arrest of all the accused in the case, police said on Monday.

On February 15, Nasir (25) and Junaid alias Juna (35), both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district, were allegedly abducted by some cow vigilantes. A day later on February 16, a charred vehicle with the duo's bodies was recovered from Bhiwani in Haryana.

On Monday, Pahadi police station SHO Shivlahri said that Jabir, who is a relative of both Junaid and Nasir, climbed the tower on Sunday evening and has not come down despite talks with police officials.

The SHO said that Jabir was demanding arrest of all the accused in the abduction-cum-murder case.

“Efforts are being made to pacify him,” he said.

Three of the nine accused in the double murder case have been arrested so far while six are absconding, police said.
