Mystery shrouds death of RSS activist following gun-fire during Hindu weapon worship (as US NRA?) | TwoCircles.net

Bhopal: Mystery shrouds the death of a 50-year-old activist of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, (RSS), who died of gunshot during Shastra Puja (weapon worship) in a school building in Kotra Sultanabad locality here on Monday morning.

The incident occurred at Saraswati Vidya Mandir premises at about 9.45 am just before the Sangh’s “Path Sanchalan” (parade) was about to begin. The deceased was present inside a room of the school where arms were being cleaned.

The police claimed that it was an accident, while the family members of the victim smell a foul play in the incident.

RSS sources claimed that as per rules, the firearms brought for Shastra puja should not have bullets. It was a major lacuna and is being investigated as how the loaded gun reached the venue.

However, Vijay Motwani, son of Naresh Motwani, alleged that Naresh had been killed by someone in the group he was sitting with. “He has been murdered. Someone among the group he was sitting with has committed this crime. Nobody tried to save his life and everyone said that they ran from the spot. Definitely, he has been killed. He did not carry any weapon. He always carried a stick along with him,” said Vijay.

Police officials investigating the case said they recovered an empty shell of a bullet from the spot. “Prima facie the recovered empty shell appears to be a 9 mm pistol,” Bhopal ASP Ruchi Vardhan said.
