Hyderabad: Sudarshan TV, a channel known for its anti-Muslim coverage, on Saturday gave awards to cow vigilantes Monu Manesar and Bittu Bajrangi. Both of them are in the spotlight after their alleged involvement in the recent Haryana communal violence.

In a video that was shared multiple times on X (formerly known as Twitter), a presenter is seen announcing awards for both Bajrangi and Manesar. The present goes on to laud the two for their “contribution in the fight against Jihadis.”

Monu Manesar is the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of two Muslim men, whose charred bodies were found in a car in Haryana’s Bhiwani. Bittu Bajrangi was booked for inciting communal violence ahead of the fatal clashes in the Nuh district in which at least five people were killed.
