Rinku Sai🐓ni, one of the accused in the alleged Rajasthan lynchings case, has said he and fellow cow vigilantes first took Nasir and Junaid to Haryana Police.
Rinku is one of the five accused in the alleged abduction and murder of Nasir and Junaid of Ghatmika village in Rajasthan's Bharatpur. The charred remains of the two were found in Haryana's Bhiwani on Thursday. Rainku and four other members of the Hindu right-wing group Bajrang Dal are accused ꦅin the case. While Rinku ꦇis in police custody, the four others are on the run.
In a related development in the case, the Haryana authorities moved to cancel the arms licence of another accused Monu Manesar, a member of the Bajrang Dal and a prominent cow vigilante🌊 in Haryana.
🅘While Rinku made the claim of first taking Nasir and Junaid💎 to Haryana Police, the Rajasthan Police said the claim could not be verified.
However, Rinku's claim corroborates with the statement of Mohammad Jabir, a relative of the deceased, that the two were first taken to the Firozpur Jhirka Police Station in Haryana but police refused take their custody as their condition ඣwas serious. Subsequently they were taken to Loharu in Bhiwani district.
What's the Rajasthan lynchings case?

Thirty-one-year-old Mohammad Jabir, a relative of both Junaid and Nasir, held Monu Manesar, one of the five accused named in the FIR, as being responsible 🌞for ꦅthe deaths.
Jabir said, “Why are the police not arresting the accused? If Monu Manesar, a member of Bajrang Dal, is named in the FIR, why are the police not arresti♐ng him?”
