Patna, April 10: The Bajrang Dal convener of the Nalanda district, according to the police, was the mastermind behind the well-planned violence that occurred during Ram Navami in Bihar.
Social media and a WhatsApp group with 456 members were used by Kundan Kumar and the other accused to plot and carry out the racial conflicts. According to Jitendra Singh Gangawar, Additional Director General of Police, Bihar, he was the administrator of the WhatsApp group that was created right before Ram Navami.
He said that the Bajrang Dal leader gave up once the government started seizing his possessions. Kishan Kumar, the group’s other administrator, has likewise given up.
“In the WhatsApp group, a conspiracy was plotted to spread violence and fake and misleading posts targetting one community were shared,” Gangawar said.
According to preliminary investigations, the organisation was also being used to incite people to post fictitious films online against members of the opposing community.
In relation to the communal fights in Nalanda, police stated a complaint had been filed against 15 individuals, of whom five had been taken into custody and two others, including Kundan Kumar, had surrendered.
