Bulandshahr: Bajrang Dal convener and an accused in Bulandshahr violence, Yogesh Raj, and other accused exchanged phone calls just hours prior to the violence, according to a fresh media report.
The Indian Express reported, citing the charge sheet filed by the UP police SIT, that accused Sachin Ahlawat made a 28-second call to Yogesh at 8:55 am on 3 December, informing him of alleged cow-slaughter in Mahav.
Now, as per the charge sheet, after this initial call, several calls were exchanged between him and the other accused in the case – Ashish Chauhan, Satish Chandra, Sachin Jat, Pavan, Satyendra and Vishal Tyagi – between 9 am and 10:30 am. The Indian Express further reported that Yogesh’s location changed from Nayabas to Siyana within 45 minutes of receiving the first call.
“Hence it is clear that the information of the cow-slaughter incident was given by accused Sachin Ahlawat to Bajrang Dal convenor Yogesh Raj. After this Yogesh directed the other accused to gather with their supporters at the scene of crime. Yogesh and rest of the accused put the carcass on the tractor trolley and carried it in front of the Siyana police station on Bulandshahr highway and raised slogans against the police.”
