Aag laga dunga: Man threatens meat shop owner over Tuesday sale in Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad: A video from Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad has sparked controversy after a man allegedly forced an elderly Muslim mutton shop owner to shut his shop by threatening to “set the store on fire” if it remained open on a Tuesday, Siasat Daily reported.
The incident reportedly occurred in Kaila Bhatta village under the Kotwali police station limits. The man, identified as Satyam Pandit, a leader of the Hindutva organisation Rashtriya Hindu Veer Sena, claimed that the shop was not allowed to sell meat near a temple on Tuesdays.
A video of the incident from Tuesday, February 24, was shared by Pandit on his Facebook account on Wednesday, February 25, with the caption, “We will not allow any Muslim to sell meat in Ghaziabad on Tuesday. Today, we went to Kaila Bhatta and got all the meat shops closed.”
In the video, he is seen approaching the mutton shop and asking whether they “have permission to sell meat on Mangalwar (Tuesday),” before aggressively instructing them to halt their operations.
“Turants band karo, samme mandir nai dikhra hai? Dukaan khulna nai hai mangal ke din. Kyun kholte ho yeh dukaan mangal ke din? Band karadunga (Close this immediately. Can’t you see the temple right in front? This shop must not be open on Tuesdays. Why are you keeping it open on Tuesdays? I’ll have it shut down),” Pandit told the shop owner.
The shopkeeper and other employees complied and moved their business inside as he continued issuing threats. “Agar Mangal se dukaan khuli dikhi toh aag laga dunga ek minute mein,” SD quoted him as saying.
When Siasat.com contacted the Kotwali police station, the Station House Officer said that an investigation is under way, but no case has been registered so far.
“We received information about the incident from social media. Officers are on the field inspecting the situation. We are awaiting more information,” the SHO said.
