The Haryana police have initiated action against four individuals following the fatal shooting of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) Chairman Nafe Singh Rathee in Haryana's Jhajjar district.
The suspects, identified as Naresh Kaushik, Ramesh Rathi, Sathish Rathi, and Rahul, all residents of Bahadurgarh in Jhajjar, are facing charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Arms Act, including criminal conspiracy, rioting, illegal assembly, and possession of prohibited weapons or ammunition.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Shamsher Singh said, "We filed an FIR based on the complaint received. Five teams, including two DSPs, have been formed to apprehend the suspects. An investigation is ongoing. We're gathering physical and scientific proof," Shamsher Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police in Jhajjar, stated.
"We are collecting evidence from all CCTV cameras and also checking the suspected vehicle," Singh added.
Singh asserted that the investigation is progressing, with efforts focused on gathering both physical and scientific evidence.
He also mentioned the scrutiny of CCTV footage and examination of suspected vehicles as part of the inquiry.
The incident occurred on Sunday when unidentified assailants, arriving in a vehicle, fatally shot Nafe Singh Rathee and a party member near a railway crossing in Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar.
Following the tragic event, INLD leader Abhay Chautala held the BJP-led government led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar responsible for Rathee's murder.
Chautala demanded a thorough investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) while questioning the government's response to the security threat posed to Rathee.
Dr. Manish Sharma of Brahma Shakti Sanjeevani Hospital provided insight into the casualties, reporting that four individuals were brought to the hospital, with former MLA Nafe Singh Rathee and Jaikishan succumbing to their injuries.
Sharma elaborated on the severe nature of the injuries sustained by the victims, indicating multiple gunshot wounds to critical areas of the body, resulting in fatal blood loss and eventual cardiac arrest.
