‘Hang Killers In Public’: Hanuman Chalisa Recited In Front Of Slain Amravati Chemist’s Home

New Delhi: Lok Sabha MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana’s wish of reciting the Hanuman Chalisa outside former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray’s residence wasn’t fulfilled. On Saturday, however, they did chant the Hindu devotional hymn in front of the slain Umesh Kolhe’s residence at Amravati.

Kolhe, a scientist, was brutally murdered on June 21 for posting social media messages in support of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.

Navneet, who won the Amravati Lok Sabha seat as an Independent, told newspersons that Kolhe’s killers should be hanged in public so that no one dares repeat such a crime.

She requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to set an example in the case.

Kolhe, who was attacked by three men with knives around 10.30 pm, succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment in hospital.

The National Investigation Agency is investigating the case.

A Mumbai court has sent the seven accused to NIA custody till July 15.
