Tragic Death of Aryan Mishra: A Victim of Cow Vigilantes

Aryan Mishra, a 19-year-old, was fatally shot by cow vigilantes in Faridabad. The CPI(M) met his impoverished family and highlighted the dubious actions of the police and the landlord. They demanded financial compensation and a government job for Aryan's brother. The incident raises questions about police complicity and societal issues.

Aryan Mishra, a 19-year-old youth, was tragically shot dead by alleged cow vigilantes during a car chase in Faridabad. According to CPI(M) leaders who met with his bereaved family, Aryan was deeply religious, having recently visited the Ram temple at Ayodhya.

The Mishra family, facing severe economic distress, described Aryan as a dedicated student and bodybuilder. They mentioned that his mother often went without meals to provide him with proper nutrition. The incident on August 23 has left the family in shock, compounded by dubious landlord involvement and alleged police protection of the criminals.

CPI(M) has called for financial aid for the family, a government job for Aryan's brother, and a thorough, court-monitored investigation. The party also criticized the lack of intervention by the highway police during the 30 km car chase that led to Aryan's death.
