Within days after a senior IAS officer virtually accused the saffron outfits of inciting communal tension in Uttar Pradesh, a senior Uttar Pradesh government official has revealed that Kasganj communal riot victim Chandan Gupta was killed by the saffron activists.

Rashmi Varun, Deputy Director in Statistics Department and currently posted at Saharanpur, also lent support to Raghavendra Vikram Singh, Bareilly District Magistrate, who had in a Facebook post said that the saffron outfits had taken out processions without permission in the Muslim-dominated areas and raised "anti-Pakistan" slogans.

"The boy (Chandan) was not killed by a second or third community...he was killed by saffron in the guise of white, saffron and green," she said in her Facebook post on Saturday.

Police have arrested two persons in connection with the killing.

Rashmi wrote that no "pro-Pakistan" slogans were raised at Kasganj nor was the "Tricolour procession" stopped on that day. "It (news to this effect) was the work of Whatsapp University," she said in a sarcastic vein referring to the rumours on the social media during the violence.

The official also supported the Bareilly DM's post and said that even a right person has to apologise after speaking the truth.

The Bareilly DM had in his post said that the saffron outfits were inciting communal tension. "It has become a fashion...take out forced processions in Muslim-dominated areas...shout anti-Pakistan slogans...are they (Muslims) Pakistanis?...the same thing had happened in Bareilly...there were stone-pelting and FIRs were lodged."

After the criticism by the BJP leaders, Singh had apologised for the post and deleted it.

Kochi, Apr 14: Reacting to the extension of the nationwide lockdown till May 3, Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac on Tuesday maintained that his state needs money more than appreciation for the work it has done to mitigate the impact of the lockdown and contain coronavirus spread.

"The only additional money that Kerala received is mere Rs 230 crore and that too for Covid-19 work. The funds we received to tide over revenue deficit is different -- we would have got it anyways," said Issac, who has been demanding more liberal financial assistance from the Centre.

"The need of the hour now is for the Centre to immediately hold a videoconference meeting with all state Finance Ministers. The Centre should borrow more money from the RBI and give it to the states. Otherise, things will be very bad, as the economy, especially rural economy, is tumbling. It needs to be checked," said the Kerala Minister.

Devasom and Tourism Minister Kadakampally Surendran said the state Cabinet will meet on Wednesday to decide how to go about things till May 3.

"The coronavirus figures reveal that Kerala has done quite well. The Cabinet will decide on how we move forward after looking into the guidelines of the Centre," said Surendran.

Local Self Government Minister A.C. Moideen said that local farm produce has to reach markets as rural economy revolves around this. The Cabinet will look into this issue as well.

Health Minister K.K. Shailaja stressed the need for maintaining social distancing and asked all to see that the lockdown guidelines were strictly followed.

"Our advantage is that we have been able to contain the spread, but we still have a long way to go. Singapore is the best example -- after a slowdown in positive cases, it picked up there. So, let us all continue to maintain strict vigil and wait till Wednesday's Cabinet meet," said Shailaja.

The incident occurred at around 9 a.m. on Friday, July 31 at Badshahpur village in Haryana’s Gurgaon, when Lukman was transporting meat in a pic-kup truck. 

The attack was captured on mobile phones by onlookers and the video clips of the incident are now spreading on social media. 

A group of saffronite cow vigilantes chased the truck for about 8 km managed waylay it. Lukman, who was driving the truck was pulled out and brutally assaulted on the suspicion that he was transporting cow meat.

Just like Dadri, the police were faster at sending the meat to a lab for testing than catching any one of the suspects. One of the assailants - Pradeep Yadav- has been arrested. 

After being beating to an inch of his life, Lukman was bundled into the pick-up truck and taken back to Gurgaon's Badshahpur village where the goons started thrashing him again.

This is when the police stepped in and stopped them - only to find the assailants fearless enough to even take on them.

Lukman was taken to a hospital and the police filed a case against "unidentified individuals" even though the video of the incident recorded by witnesses shows the faces of the assailants.

The owner of the vehicles said that the meat was buffalo and he has been in the business for 50 years.

The police have so far refused to give a statement on record on the incident and explain their inaction as seen on video.
