Monu Manesar, the cow vigilante who was accused of inciting communal violence in Nuh in July, has been detained in Haryana’s Manesar. Mohit Yadav a.k.a. Monu Manesar, who is also the prime accused in the case of the death of two Muslim youths — whose charred bodies were found in a car in Rajasthan’s Bhiwani, has been absconding for the past seven months.
As per reports, Haryana Police is making arrangements to hand him over to the Rajasthan Police.
A video has surfaced on social media, where the policemen in civilian cloaths can be seen detaining Maneshar from a building.
Monu Manesar was named along with 21 others in the abduction and killing of two Muslim men — Junaid and his cousin Nasir, whose charred bodies were found in a burnt car in Rajasthan’s Bhiwani on February 16.
