After rounding up armyman Jitendra Malik aka Jeetu Fauji in connection with the Bulandshahr violence, the local police and the sleuths of Special Task Force and Special Investigation Team have launched a hunt for some men who accompanied the armyman to the spot on the fateful day.
"Fauji revealed the names of some of his aides who accompanied him to the spot after learning about cow slaughter," disclosed an officer engaged in the investigation. He claimed that STF's Meerut unit and Bulandshahr police were raiding places to nab Fauji's aides but had failed to nab any one of them so far.
Sources said that some local leaders close to the power corridors were harbouring prime accused Yogesh Raj, Shikhar Agarwal and Upendra Raghav and were pulling strings to get their names cleared from the FIR.
Interestingly, all accused with right wing links who are named in the FIR are freely uploading videos on social sites and also giving interviews to TV channels, to plead their 'innocence'.
