Jhajjar killings blamed on cops

BSP leader gives clean chit to VHP

The BSP today accused the Haryana police of killing five Dalits in Jhajjar district on Tuesday night and said that the VHP or any other Hindu Right-wing organisation had no role in the gruesome incident.

The police is spreading the story that the VHP was involved in the massacreஔ, Mr Narendra Kumar Kashyap, a member of the UP Legislative Council who is also a coordinator of the BSP in Haryana, said addressing a press conference here.

The BSP leader, who had earlier visited the site of the incident at Jhajjar, claimed that it was the policemen at the Dulina outpost who killed one of the five men initially following an altercation over the bribe demanded from the victims. When the man died, the police killed the remaining four Dalits as well so that there was no witness to the crime committed by them, Mr Kashyap alleged.

He added some people gathered at the spot later but it was the police who were the main culprits. The City Magistrates and other government representatives who were at the site were all hand in glove with the perpetrators of the crime and action must be taken against them, the BSP leader said.

He said that Dulina, where the incident took place, was the name of the police outpost and there was no village by this name. Neither there is any human habitation in the neighbourhood. It is impossible that a mob of 4000 or 5000 persons gathered there and killed the five Dalits, he said.

Referring to the Left parties claims that the VHP and like-minded organisations had a role to play in the incident, Mr Kashyap said that the CPM and the CPI were trying to fit in the massacre in their national agenda against Hindu rights.
"The fact is that the VHP or any such outfit had nothing to do with the incident", he said. When it was asked whether the killing took place because the victims refused to pay money or because they were Dalits, Mr Kashyap said that both factors were equally important. He also expressed surprise that Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala or none of his two sons had gone to meet the families of the victims. Even the Deputy Commissioners of Gurgaon and Karnal districts to which the victims belonged did not bother to pay a visit to the bereaved families", Mr Kashyap said. He claimed that the reluctance of Mr Chautala to visit the families was also a pointer to the police personnel's involvement in the crime.
While branding Mr Chautala as anti-Dalit, Mr Kashyap demanded a probe by the CBI into the incident. 'A CBI probe will expose the Haryana police's role in the massacre', he said.
