Pali, March 19: An incident came forth from Pali district, Rajasthan where a Covid health assistant working in a govt hospital in Bali was killed with a knife, in public. Jitendrapal Meghwal, a resident of Barwa village, was stabbed to death by two miscreants who allegedly couldn't tolerate his moustache and his good lifestyle after getting govt job.
The killers travelled 800 km on two wheeler and killed Meghwal on March 15, 2022 in the afternoon.
The Dalit has become famous on social media for his moustache. The initial reports tell that he was killed by Suraj Singh Rajpurohit and Ramesh Singh because Jitendrapal Meghwal had made direct eye contact with the culprits at the time of some minor dispute between them that took place last year.
Both the killers have been arrested by the police on March 17, 2022. The action was taken under the leadership of Bali ASP Brijesh Soni & have been taken to Pali district headquarters. The miscreants had stabbed Jitendrapal Meghwal 7 times with a knife.
According to reports, the dispute began last year when Jitendra Meghwal was sitting outside his house in Barwa village and he had an exchange of words with Suraj Singh Rajpurohit of the village who was passing by.
Suraj Singh Rajpurohit, at that time, made some comments saying ‘how did you make eye contact with me.’ The matter escalated to a physical fight. Jitendrapal Meghwal lodged a case of assault against Suraj Singh Rajpurohit and his accomplices.
Rajpurohit, is a resident of deceased’s village, and works in Surat. He was so jealous of the victim that he travelled 800 KM on a bike from Surat to Bali to kill the victim. On March 15, Suraj Singh came to Bali from Surat with his friend Ramesh Singh. On that day they made a recce of Meghwal’s schedule.
Bali MLA Pushpendra Singh Ranawat and Marwar Junction MLA Khushveer Singh Jojawar raised the issue of the murder of Jitendrapal Meghwal, a resident of Barwa village in state assembly. He had called for early arrest of the accused, financial assistance to the victim’s family, and a govt job to the family member.
