Kalyan: The tragic suicide of 22-year-old Arnava Khaire has sparked shock, anguish, and intense public debate across political and social circles. On Friday, senior BJP office-bearers visited the grieving family to offer condolences and assured full support in the ongoing investigation.
Family Alleges Assault Over Marathi-Language Dispute
According to the family and locals, Arnava had been under severe mental stress after he was allegedly assaulted inside a moving local train during a dispute linked to the Marathi language. Shockingly, Arnava himself was Marathi, and those reportedly involved in the assault also belonged to the same community. The incident has raised troubling questions about growing sensitivity and polarization surrounding linguistic identity.
Police Register Case; Probe Underway
Police officials have registered a case and said an investigation is in progress to verify the sequence of events and identify those involved. The family has demanded swift action and exemplary punishment to ensure justice for Arnava.
BJP Leaders Extend Support, Call It a Social Failure
Speaking to the media after meeting the family, BJP leader Nana Suryavanshi condemned the incident strongly.
He stated,“This is not just a case of assault or suicide this is a serious failure of society. No young life should end because of language-based ego clashes. We stand firmly with Arnava’s family. The BJP will extend every possible legal and administrative support to ensure the culprits are arrested and punished. We will also push for strict measures so that such incidents never happen again.”
Appeal for Peace and Responsible Public Conduct
Suryavanshi also appealed to the public to maintain peace and not allow the tragedy to be exploited for political or hate-driven narratives. He emphasized that Maharashtra has always been known for its cultural richness and linguistic pride not hostility or division.
