Two Muslim men – Junaid, 35, and Nasir, 25 – were allegedly abducted, assaulted, killed and their bodies burned by alleged cow protection gangs on February 16, their charred bodies were found in a car in Haryana’s Bhiwani district
A district court in Rajasthan’s Deeg on Saturday rejected the bail petition of cow vigilante and double murder accused Monu Manesar filed by his lawyer LN Parasar, following which the family members of the accused said that they would move the Rajasthan high court to file an appeal.
Advocate Parasar on Saturday filed a bail appeal in Kaman court after the completion of Manesar’s 15-day judicial custody.
The family also said that they would approach the Supreme Court requesting a transfer of his case from Rajasthan to any other state, expressing doubts over the life threat to Manesar after he was shifted from Bharatpur Central Jail Sewar to Ajmer jail on September 22.
Manesar, 28, a Bajrang Dal member, was detained by the Haryana police on September 12 and later arrested by Rajasthan in connection with the double murder of two Muslim men in Haryana’s Bhiwani on September 14. The next day, he was produced before the Kaman court which sent him to 15-day judicial custody.
