Nafe Singh Rathee, Haryana chief of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), and party worker Jaikishan, were shot dead in Bahadurgarh on Sunday, according to police reports.
The shooters, travelling in a Hyundai i10, opened fire on Rathee’s car, critically injuring multiple security personnel. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and STF teams have begun investigations, stated Jhajjar SP Arpit Jain.
The injured have been admitted to Brahmashakti Sanjeevani Hospital where two succumbed to their injuries.
Abhay Chautala, a prominent figure in the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), has verified the unfortunate demise of a party worker. The incident unfolded when assailants, traveling in a Hyundai i10, unleashed a barrage of gunfire at Rathee’s vehicle. The attack resulted in severe injuries not only to Rathee but also to several security personnel.
Two others are in the ICU with bullet wounds. INLD leader Abhay Chautala criticised the state government for failing to provide security to Rathee despite threats to his life, demanding the resignations of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Home Minister Anil Vij.
Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda expressed his condolences to Rathee’s family and condemned the incident as reflective of the state’s law and order situation.
