New Delhi, October 15: In a most horrifying incident, a young 35-year-old man was found hanging by a ‘barricade near farmer’s protest site’ in Haryana, close to Singhu Kundli border. The visuals of the barbaric act indicated that the man was attacked terribly with sharp weapons and one of his wrist was chopped off.
The police filed an FIR with DSP Hansraj informing that the body was found hanging at 5 am on Friday. The person has been identified as Lakhbir Singh, who worked as a labourer. Singh was a resident of the Cheema Khurd village in the Tarn Taran district of Punjab.
Meanwhile, a video of Nihang Sikhs went viral on social media platforms where Sikhs were heard justifying the murder of the man in cold blood, saying he had disrespected Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The Nihang Sikh explaining the incident said, “See, he is a Punjabi man. He was wearing Sikh-like attire. We caught him at the Singhu border when he was trying to run away after disrespecting Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Our Singhs have chopped his hand and leg.”
While the probe is underway, BJP leader and the party's IT Cell chief Amit Malviya hit out at Tikait and alleged that anarchy is taking place under the garb of protests. In addition, he also called out at Rakesh Tikait for justifying mob lynching at Lakhimpur. Apart from this, the BJP IT Cell chief has also named Yogendra Yadav and slammed him for keeping mum.
The Nihang Sikhs claimed that the man was paid Rs. 30,000 to do so. In the video shared on social media networks, before dragging him away from the site, the Nihangs were seen questioning him who sent him after chopping off his hand.
