Days after the arrest of six Hindu Raksha Dal leader for allegedly distributing over two dozen swords in Shalimar Garden Colony, a video has surfaced in which Bhupendra Chowdhary aka Pinky claims that the organisation will continue to work “even harder” to protect dharma.
Procession Taken Out After Pinky Chaudhary’s Release
Bhupendra Chowdhry, the president of the Hindu Raksha Dal, was sent to jail on January 6 in connection with the case, following which several Hindu organisations staged protests. On the day of his release, supporters allegedly took out a celebratory procession, videos of which are now circulating online.
The video shows a large gathering of supporters around 50 to 100 men, mostly young to middle-aged, many wearing saffron clothes and scarves.
Saffron flags and banners linked to Hindu organisations are prominently visible, while slogans such as “Jai Shri Ram” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” can be heard repeatedly in the background.
Police Arrest Six, More Booked
Police confirmed that six activists have been arrested for allegedly distributing swords.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Trans Hindon) Nimish Patil said that more than two dozen unidentified activists have also been booked in connection with the incident.
Earlier, Bhupendra Chowdhry alias Pinky released a video claiming that 250 weapons had been distributed to protect Hindus. He alleged that these were meant to confront Muslims who “attack Hindu families and molest Hindu girls and women.”
Police have not verified these claims and said the statements are part of the ongoing probe.
