Bulandshahr: 3 Hindu Yuva Vahini activists held for beating man to death, say cops

New Delhi: On Wednesday, three activists of the right wing Hindu Yuva Vahini have been arrested for allegedly thrashing to death a 45-year-old Muslim man in village Sohi under Pahasu Police Station in Bulandshahr on Tuesday, police said. According to SSP Muniraj G, those arrested are activists of the Hindu Yuva Vahini and were nabbed last night from the Pahasu town, reported news agency PTI. However, cops refused to disclose the names of the arrested persons. However, Sunil Raghav, the district head of Hindu Yuva Vahini denied that any of the organisation's members were involved in the incident. Interestingly, the Hindu Yuva Vahini was set several years ago by the now CM of UP Yogi Adityanath. The Uttar Pradesh police had registered an FIR against six members of Hindu Yuva Vahini for allegedly killing a man over his role in elopement of a Hindu girl. Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Arvind Kumar Mishra said a 19-year-old man named Yusuf of Sohi had allegedly kidnapped an 18-year-old Hindu girl, a resident of village Fazalpur, also in the Pahasu area, on April 27, reported PTI. Suspecting that Ghulam had helped Yusuf, the culprits allegedly beat him to death. He said the activists, saw Ghulam, who was distantly related to Yusuf, in a mango orchard, dragged him to a secluded spot and beat him to death. "FIR has been registered, we conduct an investigation into the matter," Mann Singh Chauhan, SP City, said. Ghulam’s family members have alleged that members of Hindu Yuva Vahini are behind the incident. "If there is a roll of the organization in it, action will be taken against it," Muniraj, SSP Bulandshahr, said. Adityanath had recently warned the workers of his organisation to maintain a decent behaviour in whatever work they do. He asked the group not to misuse the colour saffron as the image of the outfit or the BJP would suffer. The incident comes days after, activists of Hindu Yuva Vahini barged into a house in Meerut city on suspicion of religious conversion being carried out of a girl by the youth. Last month, Police broke up a prayer at a church near Gorakhpur after the vigilante group founded by chief minister Yogi Adityanath complained that Hindus were being converted there. Yogi Adityanath is the founder of the Hindu Yuva Vahini, a social, cultural and nationalist group of youth who seek to provide rightist Hindu platform. He founded the organisation in April 2002, on the day of Ram Navmi.
