Shakeel, Nasir, and Bablu, three Muslim youths beat Kishanlal Bheel, a tribal man to death over taking water from bore-well in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur. 

What a wonderful Islamic treatment towards their neighbors of other faith. The accused Muslim youths even hurled casteist slurs at the Tribal Hindu man, named Kishanlal Bheel, and did not allow his family members to take him to a hospital, his brother Ashok alleged…

Swati Parmar | HENB | Jodhpur | Nov 9, 2022:: The most of the  Indian secular media houses always try to depict Islam is a ‘Religion of Peace’ and Muslims are the most peace-lovers. Their foreign counterparts in BBC, Reuters, New York Times, Washington Posts, Guardian also endorse it by putting bad lights on Hindus as racist, Islamophobic, communal and so on.

But, when a Bheel man (tribal Hindu) is lynched by three Muslim youths only for taking water from a particular source  being a low caste category, then nobody in the media in India or abroad is found to condemn the horrific matter with a minimum interest.  Perhaps, such Islamic treatment for their neighbours of other faith is accepted as Muslim rights by their friends in mainstream media.

In a shocking incident, a 46-year-old tribal Hindu man of Bheel community  was beaten to death reportedly by people belonging to the Muslim community over taking of water from a bore-well in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur, police said on Monday.

According to PTI, the accused even hurled casteist slurs at the man, named Kishanlal Bheel, and did not allow his family members to take him to a hospital, his brother Ashok alleged.

The incident took place in Bhomiyaji ki Ghati in Soorsagar.

It was only after police reached the spot that the seriously injured man was hospitalised where he succumbed to injuries, he added.

So far, three people — Shakeel, Nasir, and Bablu — have been arrested and booked under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code.

The search for others involved in the incident is on, SHO, Soorsagar Police Station, Gautam Dotasara said.

After the incident, Bheel’s family and community members staged a protest and refused to perform his last rites. They even demanded immediate arrest of all the accused as well as financial compensation and a government job for the next of kin.

“We have been in conversation with the demonstrators so that the postmortem can be done and the body be handed over to the family for funeral,” Dotasara said.

The victim’s brother has alleged that some of the locals, including the three detained, have control over the bore-well installed in the locality. They have also fitted a pump on it and do not let others use it.

“On Sunday night, Kishanlal had gone to the bore-well for water but these people pushed him away and hurled casteist slurs at him,” Ashok alleged.

Soon after he returned home, some people, including Nasir, Shakeel and Bablu, attacked our house and beat up Bheel and his son with rods and sticks, Ashok said.
