Cow vigilante Bittu Bajrangi gets death threat on social media, Faridabad Police launch probe

The police at the Saran station registered a case under Sections 196(1) and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), dealing with promoting enmity between groups through words and criminal intimidation, respectively.

“We are looking into the ID from which the alleged threat was uploaded. There have been no arrests yet, but the investigation is on,” Station House Officer Inspector Ram Singh said.

Bajrangi told The Indian Express that the suspects are those who think he targets minorities.

“I have worked for the Sanatan cause for 30 years. These threats are from groups where the video is circulating the most, who think I target them. But, in my colony, where I have lived for 21 years, none of my neighbours have complained or said I have beaten or threatened them. I will continue speaking against cow slaughter, love jihad, and anyone targeting Hindu mothers and sisters despite such threats,” Bajrangi said on Wednesday.

Bajrangi is known for his controversial role in cow vigilantism and has been a polarising figure in the region.

In April, Bajrangi threatened protests and demanded a fresh inquiry into the incident where a Haryana police officer on suspension was arrested for allegedly beating and torturing an accused in custody at the Palwal city police station. He had alleged that cow smugglers had framed the officer.
