Manesar, who was recently arrested for the February 2023 killing of two Muslim men– Nasir and Junaid– was also reportedly in touch with Bishnoi’s brother, Anmol Bishnoi, via WhatsApp. Anmol is currently in the US, according to the police.
Rajasthan Police revealed that Anmol and Monu regularly exchanged texts on WhatsApp and the chats disclosed the latter’s intentions to join the Bishnoi gang.
Monu Manesar, whose real name is Mohit Yadav, was recently sent 15 days in judicial by a Rajasthan court in connection with the murder of two Muslim men in Haryana earlier this year.
Two Muslim men, Nasir and Junaid, were found charred to death in February this year in Bhiwani district in Manesar’s native Haryana. The victims had been allegedly abducted, murdered and their bodies torched along with their vehicle to erase evidence.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a police official said that during his two-day interrogation, Monu Manesar revealed that he was in touch with another accused Rinku Saini and the duo had spoken on the phone before and after the abduction of the victims, news agency PTI reported.
The official said that while it is clear that Monu Manesar was involved in the crime, but whether he was the mastermind or not is still being probed.
Monu Manesar is also accused of triggering communal violence in Haryana’s Nuh in July this year, which also spilled over into neighbouring Gurugram and led to deaths of six people.
