Social activist Swami Agnivesh passed away on Friday evening. Followed by the news of his death, former Interim CBI director and controversial retired IPS officer M. Nageswara Rao posted "disturbing tweets" about Swami Agnivesh.
Rao took to Twitter and wrote, "GOOD RIDDANCE @swamiagnivesh. You were an Anti-Hindu donning saffron clothes. You did enormous damage to Hinduism. I am ashamed that you were born as a Telugu Brahmin. మేక వన్నె పులి गोमुख व्याग्रं Lion in sheep clothes. My grievance against Yamaraj is why did he wait this long (sic)!" He added, "Correction: Read "Wolf" for "Lion" in the above tweet (sic)."
The shocking tweet by the former Interim CBI director caused widespread outrage on Twitter. Twitterati criticised him for his comments on the dead activist. But, the retired IPS officer held his ground.
“Why do we celebrate as festivals the days savages were dead? Because they're pests destroying society & their death is a cause for celebration. It was also to warn people not to patronise the bad. Hinduism eschews अपात्र दानं & misplaced sympathy as they destroy both the giver & the sympathizer,” he responded to a criticism.
There were also many who supported Rao. A handle named @NaMo_Phani tweeted " With You Sir. This Unabashed Passion, No-Nonsense/Non-Apologetic Stand. This is So Required Today. Need of the Hour. Huge Respects..."
A 1986-batch IPS officer, M. Nageshwar Rao has many corruption complaints against him. He has allegedly influenced probes in CBI, misappropriated funds while in office & transferred officers despite SC order.
You are a disgrace. Can imagine what all you must have done as a police officer? Abusing the dead may be Hindutva but is certainly not Hinduism. Better late than never. Get yourself treated. https://t.co/Shh4zlmduc

The tweet by this retired IPS officer goes against the very tenets of religion and basic humanity. To think that he was serving in the Govt and dealing with public with such thoughts at the back of his mind just a few days ago....

This states the level of mental toxicity. IPS officers view for someone who has always helped poor people. Just because he was anti right wing, he becomes anti Hindu !! https://t.co/fgHyVbUZqH

Those who ridicule someone post his death, forget that they too have to leave this world, it's just the matter of time.

This country and institutions are now beyond repair. https://t.co/eSQcjjPCO8
@AmitShah @narendramodi I am ashamed that you both are so lenient towards these foul mouthed people who continue to hold positions with bias. When the leaders are so scared to take action against these people then why won’t our neighbours dare us? https://t.co/vRh3vjEh6Y

How have we come to a point where such a statement can be made by a Senior IPS officer and the former CBI Chief? What a deeply sad day for our country! https://t.co/NPjhf3fFZd

This person once headed the CBI. Begs the question, can an investigating agency remain neutral under such leadership? https://t.co/fqsTNJosxW

You sound like an ugly perversion of what Hindu means and Hindu is; that said, your hatred may fetch you some reward

Kathmandu (PTI): At least 17 people were killed Thursday when a jeep skidded off a hilly road and plunged about 700 metres into a gorge in Nepal's Rolpa district, police said.
The accident occurred in the Jaljala area of Thawang rural municipality when the vehicle slipped on a muddy stretch amid rain and fell down the hillside, they said.
The private jeep was hired by locals travelling to attend the Baisakh Purnima festival on Friday at Jaljala, according to police inspector Sunil Thapa Nepali, information officer at the District Police Office, Rolpa.
Rescue operations are hampered by heavy rain in the area, police said, adding that the exact number of passengers in the vehicle at the time of the accident is not yet known.
