Palghar(Maharashtra) Killings: 'Conspiracy' Behind Killing Of Two Hindu Sadhus

Two Juna Akhara sadhus Chikne Maharaj Kalpavrukshagiri (70) and Sushilgiri Maharaj (35) along with their 30-year-old driver, Nilesh Telgade, were lynched by a mob on 16 April at Gadchinchale village in Palghar district when they were on their way to Surat in Gujarat. In an exclusive interview Shri Atul Jog, organising secretary of Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram (VKA), which works in the tribal areas across the country to counter Naxalism and conversions into Christianity, said: “Palghar is a stronghold of Communists. They started working there in 1964 and tried to pit the tribals against the non-tribals. Palghar is also one of the areas from where Christianity originated in this region (Maharashtra). “There is a pattern to such incidents — Swami Lakshmanand was killed in Kandhamal (Odisha) in 2008, Gurudev Santi Kali was shot dead in his ashram in Tripura in 2000 and Ba Rijoy Sing Khongshah, an indigenous Khasi leader, was abducted and killed in 2001. It is clear that all those who oppose conversions and anti-national forces are being targeted specifically,” said Shri Jog, who is also a senior RSS pracharak. Shri Jog said his organisation doesn’t perceive the Palghar killings to be a purely law and order incident and to unearth the larger conspiracy, he demanded a CBI inquiry. Police were ‘not allowed’ to save Palghar sadhus Explaining why he is calling the Palghar incident a conspiracy, Shri Jog said: “The police were standing silently as the two sadhus and their driver were lynched. The local sarpanch had stopped the mob for three hours but then the sadhus and the driver were dragged out from the forest department’s chowki and brutally murdered, with police and one of the district council representatives standing there as mute spectators." “In fact, a police party, which was trying to rush to the spot to disperse the mob, was ambushed and kept on hold deliberately in Dadra and Nagar Haveli that adjoins the Palghar district,” he added. The district administration of Dadra and Nagar Haveli had issued a statement on 30 April, saying a bus of Maharashtra Police was “ambushed” by blocking a road with trees. “It was reported to the district magistrate, Dadra Nagar Haveli, by police department that Shri Lahnu Zimne, aged 22 years, and Shri Jagdish Chandu Rathad, both residing in Patelpada, Chisda, Khanvel, had led 200-300 people to ambush a Maharashtra Police bus on 16/04/2020 and 17/04/2020 at Chisda village by cutting down the tree and blocking the road. They both instigated people to criminally intimidate the police and throw stones at the police bus. They held the buses hostage for more than three hours and also assaulted the police personnel. They damaged the vehicles of Maharashtra Police too,” according to the statement. The Dadra and Nagar Haveli police have registered a case against the duo, it added.
