Aam Aadmi Party condemns police inaction over RTI activist Chandra Mohan (Greater Noida) murder

Aam Aadmi Party strongly condemns the murder of Right to Information Activist Chandra Mohan Sharma in Greater Noida area of Gautam Budh Nagar, (Uttar Pradesh) on Thursday night.

The party is shocked at the police reluctance to investigate the case, particularly given the fact that the murdered activist had given a written complaint to the police on April 29 about the threats to his life which he was receiving from the land mafia.

The brutal murder by burning alive an activist fighting against those involved in land encroachments and grabbing is a reflection of the poor law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.

The AAP demands that the state government should seek an immediate report from the district administration about the entire facts of the case and the police should be pulled up for its laxity in first ignoring the complaint given to it by Mr Sharma about the threat to his life, and now its extreme reluctance in investigating the case.

The family of Mr Sharma has clearly named those behind his murder and the police version that the death took place due to his car catching fire lacks credibility.

The family has named five persons who are behind the murder and the police cannot brush aside the family’s version.

Though under public pressure, the police has finally registered a case of murder against the accused, but according to the family of the deceased, the police appears ready to give the benefit of doubt to the accused.

The AAP stands with the family of the deceased in his hour of grief and will fight for justice. The party will not allow the mafia to suppress the voice of activists fighting for the society’s cause to expose corruption.
