Belgavi: Twitter users on Sunday demanded justice for slain 24-year-old youngster Arbaaz of Belagavi who was reportedly murdered brutally by activists of Ram Sena over an alleged inter-faith relationship with a Hindu girl.
The demand soon took pace on the micro-blogging site as hashtag #JusticeForArbaaz was trending with over 25K tweets at the time of posting of this report.
The users slammed the Right-Wing group and their mindset over the incident and compare them to the Taliban.
They further called out the sidelining and harassment of the minority communities in the country under the BJP rule led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Arbaaz was killed earlier last month by the activists of Ram Sena as alleged by his family in their police complaint. Arbaaz was reportedly having a love affair with a girl named Shweta. The family has named the father of Shweta as the main accused in their complaint along with one Maharaj, a local Ram Sena leader, and his aide.
The police have booked the trio after registering an FIR in the matter but no action has yet been taken into the matter and no arrests have so far been made in the case.
Users extensively tagged Karnataka DGP’s Twitter account in their tweets along with the account of SP of Belagavi district demanding immediate action in the case.
