Defending Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal in the Bulandshahr violence on Monday, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said that it would be premature to name a Hindu outfit for the fracas before the probe was completed. “I am deeply saddened by the incident in Bulandshahr where an inspector and a youth were killed. The State Government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is probing the matter threadbare and will submit its findings in the next two days. Hence, it will be hasty to hold a Hindu outfit responsible for the incident," said Maurya in Lucknow on Tuesday.
“We should wait for the SIT findings and until the probe is completed it will not be proper to draw conclusions,” he asserted. “What happened in Bulandshahr was deeply tragic and we are saddened by the incident. The locals should have shown restraint and the police should also have been careful in dealing with the development. Tragedy has struck the famlies of inspector Subodh Kumar Singh and 20-year-old Sumit, who died in the incident. I want to assure that those responsible for the incident will be brought to justice,” said the DeputyCM.
