Sirohi | Anger continues to rise in the Sirohi district of Rajasthan over the murder of Narendra Singh alias Chintu Singh. The victim's family has launched an indefinite protest at the district collectorate demanding the arrest of all named accused.
A large number of people from the Rajput community and other groups have joined the protest to support the grieving family.
Observing the gravity of the situation, the victim's mother, three sisters, and brother have sat on an indefinite hunger strike at the district headquarters.
The family has made it clear that their protest and fast will continue until the police put all the remaining accused behind bars.
Although administrative officials held talks with the representatives of the protestors, the discussion remained inconclusive as no concrete assurance was given.
'Even after more than two months, the police have failed to arrest the main accused. We only want justice, and we will not end our hunger strike until everyone is arrested.'
Former Friend Plotted the Murder
According to family members, on May 7, Chintu Singh's former close friend, Arvind Singh, called him to a hotel near Khandra village.
As soon as Chintu Singh arrived, the accused rammed his vehicle and then brutally assaulted him with sticks and sharp weapons.
Critically injured in the attack, Chintu Singh battled for his life in the hospital for six days before succumbing to his injuries.
Anger Over Slow Police Action
Initial police investigation revealed that Chintu Singh and the main accused, Arvind Singh, were once close friends but had recently developed a dispute.
Even after two months, police have only arrested two suspects, while nine other attackers, including Arvind, are still evading arrest.
The protestors have warned the administration of intense statewide protests if the remaining accused are not apprehended immediately.
