Hindutva Fanatic Murderer Shambhulal Raigar to Help BJP in Rajasthan

From People's Review:

When Shambhulal Raigar brutally lynched Mohammad Afrazul Shaikh and then burned him in Rajsamand of Rajasthan, a few hours drive from Jaipur, he was sure that this act will make him a celebrity; he knew, from his accurate understanding of the undergoing trends of the Indian politics that he will be absolved of all his crimes under the present regime and system, which openly condemns a man to death to “please the collective sentiments of the majority” community. Shambhulal Raigar was correct. His action, his video and his rhetoric justifying the ghastly murder made him a hero whom the Hindutva camp now hails through its millions of social-media faces.

Shambhulal Raigar is accoladed with loads of titles by the Hindutva camp; from a harbinger of Hindutva resurgence to a man of virtue, he has them all, at a time, when hardcore Hindutva fanatic propagandists like Kanchan Gupta or Swapan Dasgupta Googles incessantly to find out similar incidents of violence, brutal lynching and burning alive of “persecuted Hindus” during the reign of Congress or the Mughals to shield their boss Narendra Modi and his corporate fundraisers and to justify the fat pay packs they get for whitewashing the crimes committed by the Hindutva camp.

Afrazul Shaikh was a migrant labourer from Malda district of West Bengal who, like millions of others, migrated to Rajasthan to work as a daily labourer and then, after 20 years of struggle, managed to become a small-scale labour contractor who would supply contract labourers for a multitude of works in the region. He was nearly 50 and had been living in Rajsamand for years now. Shambhulal Raigar didn’t know Afrazul Shaikh, except for the fact that he was a migrant Muslim and on that criteria, he fitted well to be a prey that the Hindutva fascist monster was looking for. After luring him with a work proposal, Shambhulal Raigar took him to a secluded jungle and then brutally murdered him by axing and then burned him, while Afrazul gasped for last few breaths amidst hefty bleeding. The nephew of Shambhulal Raigar, a 15-year-old, was shooting the video of the gruesome act with unshaky hands. Who said radicalised youth are found only in Madrassas?
