It should be noted that Hindu Yuva Vahini Leader Vishnu Dutt Ojha was killed in same way in July 2011.
FAIZABAD/TANDA: In Tanda town of Ambedkarnar district, Hindu Yuva Vahini's local leader Ram Babu Gupta was shot dead by motorcycle-borne miscreants in the busy market of Adalatpur locality on Sunday night. Police said that Gupta was killed over a property related dispute. The assailants, however, have not been arrested so far. Hindu Yuva Vahini is a group founded and led by Gorakhpur BJP MP Yogi Aditya Nath.Indefinite curfew was imposed in Tanda town of Ambedkarnagar district after an angry mob, allegedly activists of Hindu Yuva Vahini, resorted to arson and rioting in protest against murder of their local leader who was shot dead on Sunday late night. About a dozen persons of a community and police personnel were injured. The rioters also torched several houses and vehicles. Police had to fire in air to control the mob.
Irked over the manner in which Ram Babu was shot in the middle of a busy market place and assailants made good their escape unchallenged after committing the crime, supporters of the slain leader went berserk. Delay on the part of the local police in reaching the crime scene after the murder added fuel to the already rising tempers of the supporters, who attacked and manhandled the policemen and set afire a police jeep.
The situation turned ugly when the Vahini activists gave the incident a communal angle. It was only after additional police force reached the site and chased away the mob that the situation was brought under control. Police said efforts were on to trace the assailants and work out the case. Body of the Vahini leader was subsequently sent for the post-mortem and a case of murder was lodged at Aliganj police station.
As a precautioary measure, the district administration imposed curfew in Tanda and Aliganj police stations of the Tanda area. Heavy police force has also been deployed in the area. Faizabad Commissioner Vipin Kumar Diwedi when contacted, told TOI that the situation was now under control. Subhash Chandra, Inspector General of Police, said that the police are investigating the murder case and riots have been controlled.
