Mohammad Akhlaq, was killed in Dadri by an angry mob over a rumor that he and his family consumes cow meat and now a person who is said to be wanted by police in this case has been found dead in mysterious conditions. Jay Prakash who was 24 years old has been found dead and his family members are blaming the police for harassing him over Dadri murder case. Jay, whose house is near to Mohammad Akhlaq’s house, lived with his mother and two brothers. Jay was the eldest one and worked as a daily wage laborer, his father had died a few years ago.
The news of Jay’s death was reported around 11 AM after which a police team reached the village in Dadri. The angry villagers did not let the body to be removed until the media arrived in the village. The police have taken the body and it will be sent for post-mortem to get an idea about the reasons of death.
Sub-Inspector Ranvir Singh said, “Investigation has been taken up but no conclusions can be drawn until the postmortem report is obtained.”
Jay’s mother Omvati has made allegations that Police was harassing her son and he was under a lot of mental stress despite the fact that Jay’s name was not present in the list of absconders.
Villagers are also supporting Omvati’s claim as they told that police has been on a look out for Jay and his brothers for a week and this has frightened the family a lot.
A village representative, Hari Ram Singh said, “Police are raiding houses in the village every day, leading to immense tension. They are harassing all, including people like Jay Prakash whose name was not present in the absconders’ list.”
Police has accepted that Jay’s name was not in the absconders list but they totally denied any allegation of raiding houses or troubling the villagers.
The body of Jay was found by his relatives, a huge number of villagers got gathered there and police was also called immediately.
Yesterday, the local administration had a meeting with 25 village heads from Bishara and the nearby areas regarding on how to stop the false rumors from being spread and maintain a peaceful environment in the area.
