Recently, the police arrested a youth from Haryana for threatening the family of Chaudhary Naresh Tikait, the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) president. The accused has been identified as Vishal, a resident of Dhanana village in Sonipat, living in Najafgarh, Delhi.
The Bhaurakalan police in Muzaffarnagar have arrested Vishal from Delhi regarding the case. The accused, who works as a labourer in the national capital, was arrested after a thorough investigation by the police.
During the police interrogation, the accused confessed to making the threatening call. However, the police claimed he was in an inebriated state then and could not confirm if he intended to carry out his threat of blowing up the Tikait family.
Vishal has been charged under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for making criminal threats and causing intentional insult with an intent to provoke a breach of the peace.
The incident occurred when Naresh Tikait’s family received a threatening call from an unknown person who claimed to have planted a bomb on their property. Following this, the police were informed, and an investigation was launched.
In the wake of the threats, security measures have been increased around the Tikait family’s property. The BKU president has also been provided with additional security to ensure his safety. The accused’s arrest has relieved the Tikait family and the BKU. The police have assured us they will continue investigating the matter to ensure justice is served.
The incident highlights the need for increased security measures for those who speak out on social and political issues. Naresh Tikait is a prominent farmer leader at the forefront of the ongoing protests against farm laws. Such threats and acts of violence not only threaten the individual but also undermine the democratic values of the country. The police have urged the public to provide any information that could aid the investigation.
