Following the brutal killing of a 26-year-old Bajrang Dal Rinku Sharma on Thursday, eyewitnesses have revealed startling information about one of the accused Zahid and his uncle Tasuddin.
As per Rinku’s friend Akash, Rinku Singh had nothing to do with the fight that broke out at the restaurant and the theories about Rinku Sharma being murdered because of the scuffle at the birthday party is completely false. The scuffle was actually between one accused Zahid and another friend of theirs, Sachin, that did not involve Rinku at all. Aakash’s statement also gives credence to the family’s version that Rinku was murdered not because of some fight at a birthday party but because the Muslim mob was enraged by Rinku chanting Jai Shree Ram and wanted to get back at him for collecting funds for Ram Mandir, Ayodhya.
In fact, it is pertinent to remember that the family of Rinku had said that the Muslim mob had been harassing Rinku for almost 6 months after he had celebrated the Bhoomi Pujan of Ram Mandir.
Aakash, the friend of Rinku Sharma, also said that Tasuddin, Zahid’s uncle, misbehaved with him at the hospital where Rinku was admitted. Sachin, who had a verbal fight with Zahid also claimed that 10-12 men had barged into his house, but he had called 100 immediately and thus, got saved.
