The apprehension of the attack scared Shahrukh. He called Jatin and told that Vishal has come to Bajpur. On this, Jatin reached Bajpur by bike with Manavdeep with him. He also called Ravi, Asif and Junaid there. Taking sticks and bats from a nearby shop, he stood near the hospital in search of Vishal.

Jatin and Vikram factions have come face to face many times before
The controversy that started two years ago over the ink remover of a few rupees led to the death of Vishal, a resident of Kelakheda. The tussle that started between the students over this dispute gradually turned into a canker. Due to the tension, the students formed their own factions. In the last three years, there were several fights between them.

Jatin Chaudhary, a resident of village Shikarpur in Swar tehsil of Rampur district, and Manavdeep alias Manav, a resident of Shivnagar, were students of Mother India Public School located at Bajpur Daurahe. Vikramjit Singh, a resident of Kelkheda, also studied in this school. Two years ago, there was a fight between Jatin and Vikram over a snatch of ink remover. Vikram told this to his companions Gagan and Vishal. Vishal was of hackneyed nature. On this Vikram and Vishal etc beat Jatin. Seeing his lightness, Jatin made friends with some youths of Bajpur Dhansara and joined them with him. Jatin had come to Dhansara three months ago.

There Vishal and his accomplices attacked Jatin with a basewall bat. In this case, a settlement was reached between the two parties after a complaint was made to the police. Despite this, their mutual animosity did not subside. Vishal’s mother Krishna told that two days ago, while playing football in the village school, Vishal had sprained his leg. On May 25, Vikram and Gagan had come to call him in a car. He was refusing to go to Bajpur due to sprain in his leg but both of them took him along with insistence. His father Ramesh says that if the youth accompanying him during the attack had resisted instead of running away, his son’s life could have been saved.

Eyewitnesses of the incident kept making videos on mobiles
Bajpur. During the attack on Vishal Kamboj, the people present at the spot remained mesmerizing. During this, some also made videos of the incident from their mobiles. Apart from the CCTV footage, the police have also got hold of such videos from the mobiles of other people, in which the attackers are seen brutally beating Vishal. In a video, accused Jatin, Manav and Junaid are brutally thrashing Vishal who has fallen on the road. During the attack, Gagan and Vikramjeet, residents of Kelakheda, who came with Vishal to Bajpur, are seen leaving him and running away with the car. After the incident, Vishal, who was in a dying condition, received Mohd. Yusuf and Usman took the hospital with the help of an e-rickshaw. But for a long time the identity of the deceased could not be established.

The accused surrendered for fear of bulldozers and to free their wives
Bajpur. The warning of the police worked in the arrest of the accused of the Vishal massacre. The police had threatened to run bulldozers at the houses of the accused if they were not caught soon. Six teams of police were formed to nab the accused. A vigorous raid was conducted till 2 o’clock in the night to nab the accused.

High officials of the police had warned of bulldozers on the properties of the accused if they were not caught. On this, the two named accused surrendered after reaching Kotwali in the night itself. The teams engaged in the raid, with the help of women police, took the wives of two accused of Dhansara into custody. Due to pressure, both the accused reached Kotwali while two other accused also surrendered on Thursday. An accused who came to light was called to Kotwali with the help of a public representative. The police arrested all the accused within just 24 hours of the incident.

Action will be taken against those spreading communal hatred regarding the incident
The police has taken the matter of giving communal color to the Vishal massacre seriously. The police have identified such elements and warned of action against them.

In a statement issued by the Social Media Monitoring Cell of the District Police, it has been said that on May 25, Vishal, a resident of Ramnagar, Kelakheda, was beaten to death by some chaotic elements. The accused have been identified on the basis of CCTV footage. The accused do not belong to any particular religion but some people are trying to spoil the communal harmony by spreading propaganda through social media. The social media cell of the police is monitoring the misleading posts and communal remarks. Action will be taken against such people.

SSP consoles Vishal’s family
SSP Manjunath TC reached the house of the deceased Vishal in village Ramnagar of Kelakheda and consoled the family members. Said that if someone else’s role comes to the fore in this matter, then action will be taken.
