Gurugram, July 28

Accusing Ramgarh MLA Gyandev Ahuja and VHP leader Naval Kishore of choreographing Akbar Khan's "lynching" in Alwar, Meo mahapanchayat has demanded registration of FIR against the two. 

The panchayat held at Akbar's native village, Kolgaon, was attended by senior Meo leaders and ulemas in addition to likes of Rajya Sabha MP Ali Anwar Ansari and Swaraj India leader Yogendra Yadav. Following massive discussion, the panchayat finalised an array of demands, prime being trial of the said two leaders. 

"Postmortem had proved that every single injury on Akbar's body was made by Ahuja's men. Local VHP leader who was amongst attackers became prime witness and wove a story of custodial death to save their skin. Police delayed in getting him treatment, for which they should be punished. The leaders who raise such an army of goons and get innocent people killed should also be booked," demanded panchayat members.

Calling the compensation given by the Rajsthan government as meagre, the panchayat has demanded Rs 50 lakh or provision of funds to raise Akbar's children till they come of age. The panchayat also demanded an inquiry by a sitting senior judge in this matter. The leaders present ridiculed both the Rajasthan and Haryana government for shutting eyes to community-specific crimes and failing to curtail same.
