RAJASTHAN POLICE investigators have said that at least two vigilante groups allegedly kept moving across Haryana with injured Junaid and Nasir for more than 15 hours on February 15 before their bodies were found charred the next morning.
Junaid and Nasir had gone missing from Bharatpur in Rajasthan on February 15, and their charred bodies were found in Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani district a day later.
Top police sources told The Indian Express that two groups — one from the Mewat region comprising areas of Haryana and Rajasthan, and another from Jind-Bhiwani-Karnal in Haryana — were allegedly involved in the killings of Junaid and Nasir.
The police are investigating the probable involvement of more such groups as part of their probe in the case registered on charges of abduction and murder, they said.
According to Rajasthan Police, the involvement of at least a dozen more suspects, apart from the nine accused whose roles have been confirmed so far, is being investigated. Bharatpur IG Gaurav Srivastava told reporters that the Scorpio in which the cow vigilantes took the two victims was traced to a “gaushala (cow shelter)” in Haryana’s Jind.
