Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on October 11 directed officers to get the killing of a temple priest in Karauli district probed by the CID-CB.
He additionally condemned the BJP’s “attempt to give a communal colour” to a land dispute between two households, which led to the dying of the priest.
“It is condemnable that the BJP gave a communal colour to the tragic incident between the Meena and Vaishnav communities of a land dispute case between two families in Bukna villlage of Sapotara. This has undermined the image of Rajasthan unnecessarily,” Mr. Gehlot mentioned in a press release.
He mentioned the priest’s dying was not the results of a caste battle, neither a pre-planned incident.
The dispute between the 2 households over taking the possession of a chunk of land resulted in the tragic incident.
On October 6, a day earlier than the incident, the panchayat had agreed in favour of priest Babu Lal Vaishnav, in which a majority of individuals of the Meena neighborhood had been current.
Directions have been issued to get the case investigated by the CID-CB. Superintendent of Police (SP) Vikas Sharma has been assigned the duty, the assertion mentioned.
Mr. Gehlot mentioned the Congress authorities has at all times been striving to offer protection to monks and the land that comes beneath varied temples.
Owing to the land dispute, Vaishnav was allegedly set on hearth and he died on the SMS Hospital in Jaipur on Thursday. It is alleged that 5 individuals, attempting to occupy the cultivated land close to the temple, set ablaze the priest by spraying petrol. Two have been arrested.
