Overview

• Lokesh Singla, accused in the 2023 Nasir-Junaid lynching, died on July 5 after jumping in front of a train near Palwal on the Delhi–Agra rail line.
• In a purported final video, Singla named state convenor Bharat Bhushan and members Harkesh Yadav and Anil Kaushik for sending goons to menace him and threaten false cases.
• Singla’s wife, Damyanti, lodged a complaint leading the Government Railway Police in Faridabad to register an FIR for abetment to suicide against the three Bajrang Dal figures.
• Deputy Superintendent Rajesh Chechi said investigators are probing the harassment claims and examining whether internal disputes or links to the original lynching motivated the threats.
• Analysts say the case exposes deep rifts within cow vigilante networks and heightens calls for greater oversight of communal vigilantism.
