BIHAR: The father of 25 year-old railway job aspirant who was
allegedly killed by an MNS mob in Mumbai, filed a murder case against
Raj Thackeray in Bihar on Friday, reports The Indian Express.
Seeking initiation of criminal proceedings against the Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena chief and his henchmen, Jagdish Prasad, Pavan Kumar's
father, filed the case in the court of CJM Abhimanyu Lal Srivastava in
Biharsharif in Nalanda district.
A case has been filed under different sections of IPC including murder
and criminal conspiracy. Three persons have been named as witnesses in
the petition.
While two of them had accompanied the youth to Mumbai as guardians and
were witness to the assault on Bihari examinees by MNS activists on
October 19, another, an acquaintance living in Pune, had received the
body of Pavan after post mortem. The case is likely to be taken up for
hearing on Saturday.
Raj Thackeray, whose alleged inflammatory anti-north Indian tirade has
led to frequent attacks on Hindi-speaking people in Maharashtra, is
facing a number of cases in Bihar.
An advocate, Sudhir Kumar Ojha, has filed a murder and sedition case
against the MNS leader in Muzaffarpur, while a Dalit examinee Raj
Kumar Chaudhary, who suffered a fractured hand in the MNS attack, has
filed an FIR in Vaishali against Thackeray for instigating an MNS mob
to attack Biharis.
Keshav Kumar Sinha, a lawyer, has filed a complaint case against Raj
Thackeray and Shirish Parkar, MNS spokesman, under sections relating
to culpable homicide, criminal conspiracy and attempt to murder.
Twenty hurt in India migrant violence: At least 20 people were injured
in clashes with police in eastern India on Friday in protests over
attacks on migrants in the financial hub of Mumbai, police said.
Protesters blocked roads, smashed cars and burnt tyres in the eastern
state of Bihar, as police struggled to control street violence for a
fifth day in a row.
Migrant workers from Bihar said they were attacked and thrown out of
Mumbai over the last week by supporters of the Maharashtra Navanirman
Sena (MNS), a militant Hindu group.
The MNS is fuelling anti-immigrant rhetoric ahead of national and
local elections due next year and trying to hold on to its Marathi
votebank, some political commentators say.
That in turn has provoked tit-for-tat violence in northern and eastern
India, a sign of the strains that inequality is placing on society as
parts of the country's economy booms.
In Patna, Bihar's state capital, the protesters, mostly students who
were barred by MNS from taking job interviews and tests, threw stones
at police.
