Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij instructed the officials to take immediate action in the murder of Haryana Indian National Lok Dal’s (INLD) chief Nafe Singh Rathee who was shot dead by unidentified assailants near the railway crossing at Bahadurgarh in Jhajjar district.

Dr Manish Sharma at Brahma Shakti Sanjeevani Hospital informed that a total of four people were brought to the hospital, out of which former MLA Nafe Singh Rathee and a person named Jaikishan were brought dead.
“In the evening, four people who had been shot were brought to Brahma Shakti Sanjeevani Hospital. Out of them, two had suffered heavy bleeding and were brought dead, still, we tried CPR but they couldn’t be saved. Two others are admitted to the ICU with gunshot wounds on the shoulder, thigh, and left side of the chest. Former MLA Nafe Singh and another person Jaikishan were brought dead. They were shot in the neck, back, and shoulder. Multiple wounds suggest there were multiple rounds of fire. Sudden major vessel damage causes heavy blood loss and eventually, heart attack,” he said.
