At
a time, when entire nation witnessed widespread outrage over the Ballabhgarh
‘love jihad’ murder case, the facts behind the incident came into light.
If truly analyzed the cruel killing of
the 19-year-old college student in Faridabad on Monday tells another tale of
‘Love Jihad’. The perpetrator, Tauseef, who along with his friend Rehan, was
arrested from Mewat by the Haryana Police SIT, while talking to the
investigator, revealed that he killed Nikita Tomar just because she had refused
to convert into Islam and rejected his proposal to marry him. Tauseef was infuriated and wanted to teach
Nikita a lesson. As he failed to convince her, Tauseef planned to kill her
while she was in her way to after taking examination from college on Monday.
The two perpetrators in the case -
Tauseef and Rehan - were produced before a Faridabad district court and sent to
two-day police remand. As the police continues to investigate the broad
daylight murder of the 19-year-old girl, several intriguing facts have also
come to light which exposes Tauseef’s family’s strong political connections,
which is why he managed to do away after committing such heinous crime.
The perpetrator’s family is closely
linked to sitting Congress MLA Chaudhary Aftab Ahmed from Nuh (Mewat)
constituency of Haryana. In 2019, Chaudhary Aftab Ahmed was re-elected and
nominated as Deputy Leader of Congress Legislative Party Haryana. He has also
served as Transport minister, Tourism minister, Printing & Stationary
minister and state vice-president of the Haryana Congress. Taking a serious
note of the incident, the Haryana Police had on Monday late evening constituted
a SIT to nab the perpetrators. The duos were however arrested from Nuh, falling
under the constituency of Chaudhary Aftab Ahmed.
Media reports suggested that Nikita’s
family chose to keep a safe distance from any dispute they were scared of
dangerous consequences due to strong political links of Tauseef’s family.
Nikita’s father, while speaking to the media, said that no any Congress party
leader met them till Monday late evening.
