Muslim man hacked and set on fire alleging 'love jihad'


Jaipur, Dec 7 (DHNS): A video of a man being hacked to death and then set on fire went viral on news channels and social media on Thursday morning.

The incident is said to have occurred in Rajasthan’s Rajsamand district. According to News18, the victim was a Muslim labourer identified as Mohammed Afrazul who was working in the area as a contract labourer.

The attacker, identified as Shambhulal Regar according to media reports, can be seen issuing a warning to those practising "love-jihad" after setting the body on fire, leading people to believe that this was a possible hate crime. Police said that he had lured the victim on the pretext of offering him some work. Regar was later arrested by the police who also reportedly recovered the murder weapon at the scene of the crime.

Police recovered the charred remains of the body at around 1 PM on Wednesday according to Indian Express.

“It is shocking how he killed the man and made a video of it. The accused has been arrested and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been set up for investigation in the case,” State Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria was quoted as saying by ANI.

The victim, identified as Mohammed Afrazul, was a migrant from West Bengal’s Malda district and was working in Rajsamand as a contract labourer. The man seen as the attacker in the video has been identified as Shambhulal Regar.

Police said that the motive of the crime is not clear as of yet and will be revealed after the investigations are complete.

    There is nothing to justify this crime.
    But how did this idea come that he is from BJP? Did he give any statement? No.
    Some sikulars jump to their gun for no reason.
    Assumptions without any facts to back up is foolish.
    Police has already arrested him.
    Motive still not known.
    Wait and then comment.

    Blatant barbaric act of intolerance.

    The poor man's was hacked to death in broad daylight. His screams and pleas fell on deaf ears.

    Time to blame the BJP government? Not yet.

    The problem is not the government. The problem is the tools they use.

    The tools they use are sweet talking stories and fairy-tales that only children would believe. These fairy-tales are known by different names all over the world. For example: Christianity, Islam and Hinduism are some of the names used to refer to these fairy tales that are followed so reverently despite the lack of logic and evidence in any of them.

    If you take out religion from this equation, there would be no reason for this crime to be committed.

    Let's get real. The problem is religion and the older generations' problem of forcing it onto public life. There may be no God. Let's stop this song and dance in his name before someone else gets hurt.

    RSS - world's largest legalized government funded terrorist organization run by criminal politicians in higher positions in a so-called democratic, secular country.
    Role - Executing hatred, violence, horror, riots, atrocity and maintaining chaotic situation across the country to support BJP to be in power.

    humanity is suffering from identity crisis ..Some one calls himself hindu and kills a muslim ..a Muslim kills a non muslim or wants to convert the whole world into islam ..so are the christians ideally want the whole world convert to christianity ..
    One bad element here and there does not indicate the overall peaceful nature of humans which ever religion he or she is following.
    These are all control mechanisms to control you and me and pit against each other ..wake up people ..reclaim your original humanity back .Humans are the only species who kill each other in the name of religion,race,caste,creed..etc ..which is existentially not required unlike animals who have to kill to live.

    For your information Malda is in West Bengal, India, not in Bangladesh. Secondly why people migrate from one state to another everyone know! It's only because of handful people like you, these kind
    of violence happen. instead of condemning the violence, you ask question why Bengali is in Rajasthan. Shame on creatures like you.

    Dear peace lover, Condemnation ?
    Its good to see you and other fellow comentators in full flow today. Gen when there is a terror attack by the usual 'peace loving' faction there are hardly 4-5 comments in this forum. There is no condemnation at all, just a silent support. Today we see everyone out , why? because the culprit is apparently a Hindu. So let us all collectively condemn this act and say 'Crime has no religion'!

    This kind of violence seems to boost the chances of success for the ruling BJP in elections.
    Opposition political parties won't condemn such acts for fear of being labelled pro-muslim.
    If previous hate killings of Muslims are an indication, the attacker will be let off and a probe against the victim will be made.
    So what should MUSLIMS do now ??

    Since you claim to live in Israel, my sincere advice to you is visit the families of a couple of holocaust survivors and talk to them about the horrors they faced and the pain that they went through...........Probably after that you will stop posting messages of hatred. Also remember that Mallus belong to all religions Hindu, muslim and Christian. They celebrate Onam as one people. Maybe you should learn something from them.
