Tribal youth arrested for revenge killing linked to cow slaughter dispute in MP's Betul
BHOPAL: Unimaginable torture and humiliation of a tribal youth in November 2023, allegedly over a cattle smuggling issue, led to a brutal revenge killing a year later in Betul district, Madhya Pradesh. After months of investigation, the police uncovered the murder plot and arrested seven tribal youths on Sunday. The accused allegedly kidnapped and killed 22-year-old Rinkesh Chouhan on November 30, 2024. They then burned his body using plastic, tyres, and diesel, leaving only a burnt skull and a few bones in the dense Arjun Gondi forest in Betul district. The murder was linked to the torture of 20-year-old tribal youth Ashish Parte in November 2023. Chouhan and another man had allegedly stripped and hung Parte upside down before beating him with a stick and belt. The attack was reportedly over cut money extorted from cattle smugglers transporting cattle from Betul to Amravati in Maharashtra. While Chouhan carried out the brutal attack, his friend filmed the entire incident on a mobile phone and later uploaded the video. The video went viral three months later, in February 2024, sparking protests by tribal groups and the opposition Congress in Betul and Bhopal. The protests also led to the transfer of the then Superintendent of Police, Siddharth Chaudhary. According to police sources, Ashish Parte was deeply traumatized by the incident and nearly took his own life, but his family intervened in time. Following the viral video, Chouhan was sent to judicial custody, while his friend, who had filmed the attack and had a criminal history, was charged under the National Security Act (NSA). Parte, however, planned revenge and waited for Chouhan to be released from jail. Parte came to know that Chouhan had come to visit a fair in the Multai area on November 30, 2024. Further knowing that Chouhan was staying at the house of a common friend, Parte and six other aides planned to avenge the insult. They abducted Chouhan and beat him badly. They later took him to the Arjun Gondi forests, killed him, and then set the body ablaze, reducing it to skeletal remains, including the skull, Betul Superintendent of Police Nischal Jharia told TNIE on Monday. In December 2024, forest department staff discovered the skeletal remains and a human skull in the forest. Police launched an investigation, and on December 21, 2024, Chouhans family reported his sudden disappearance. A hand bracelet recovered from the site helped police identify the remains. Later, DNA analysis confirmed that the remains belonged to Chouhan. We subsequently grilled Ashish Parte and his friends, who finally admitted having killed Chouhan and having burnt his body to destroy the evidence -- for avenging the November 2023 torture-insult. All seven accused have been arrested, the SP-Betul said

Atrocities in the name of Dharma due to ignorance
MUMBAI: Days after expressing concern over the resurgence of temple-mosque disputes threatening to disrupt communal harmony, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that all acts of persecution and atrocities committed in the name of Dharma (religion) were due to lack of true comprehension of Dharma. Speaking at an event in Maharashtras Amravati, he said improper and incomplete understanding of Dharma leads to Adharma. Dharma has always existed, governing the workings of the world, which is why it is called Sanatan (eternal). The practice of Dharma itself ensures its protection. The various reformative sects in our Dharma played a crucial role and these sects are real wealth of Dharma, he said. He said no religion teaches to divide people, but rather they impart the wisdom of uniting people. Unity is eternal. The whole universe is one. Practising non-violence protects the Dharma. If we really and properly understand the Dharma, then there will be tranquillity, equality, unity and prosperity, he said. He said while even illiterates can easily understand Dharma, its often the educated lot, who are bloated with self-pride of their knowledge, who fail to comprehend it.
