Hours after Ratlam police claimed that Himmat Patidar, who is associated with the RSS, faked his 'murder' for life insurance sum and instead allegedly killed his farm help, the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh Monday took potshots at the BJP which had held protests against recent killings of saffron leaders in the state.
Earlier in the day, police said Patidar had allegedly killed his farm labourer Madan Malviya (32) last week to pass it off as his own 'murder'.
Patidar is alive and is on the run, a senior police officer has said.
Taking a swipe at the opposition BJP, Home Minister Bala Bachchan said, "Former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan should visit the house of the Dalit man who has been allegedly killed by Patidar, one of their (BJP's) own men, and console his family members. Why he (Chouhan) has not tweeted yet?"
