A Muslim youth named Sher Khan barged into a Hindu Temple on Monday morning in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh and threatened to attack the temple. He attacked the Mahant of Ram Mandir situated near Retia Bazaar under the Raya Police Station precinct.
Sher Khan assaulted Mahant Arun Chaudhary and is also hurled stones at the Hindu temple. The accused also threatened the Mahant not to open the temple and leave. Moreover, he claimed that the temple land belonged to the Muslims.
According to the media reports, it is being claimed that Sher Khan is mentally unstable and the police also said the same. However, the Mahant and Hindu rights activists have denied this claim. A video is going viral on the social media wherein it can be seen that the accused attempted to assault the Mahant after he locked himself inside the temple.
In the video Sher Khan can be seen kicking the gate in rage, however, he failed to open it. The attacker used the abusive language and told Mahant that this temple is ours and not to open the temple tomorrow. Mahant Arun Chaudhary informed the police about the matter after the Muslim attacker left the temple premises. Notably, the Hindu rights organisations and the local BJP leaders reached the temple and went to the Raya Police Station protesting against the misbehaviour of the police official who spoke to Mahant Arun when he dialled 112 who accused Mahant of being a drunkard. The protestors also demanded the arrest of Sher Khan.
SP Rural Triguna Visen, Area Officer Mahavan Bhushan Verma reached the spot on receiving the information and calmed the angry people by promising the arrest of the attacking accused youth and taking action against the police official who allegedly misbehaved.
A case was registered at Raya Police Station against Sher Khan on Mahant Arun Chaudhary’s complaint and the Muslim youth was arrested. ‘We have received the information that the accused is mentally unstable, however, investigation into the matter is underway’, said the police. In a video, Mahant Chaudhary narrated the incident on Monday and said that Sher Khan is faking his mental illness and questioned why he has not attacked any Muslim person and why only Hindus. He is making a fool out of everyone, said Chaudhary.
