Let me remind you that a suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma has recently kicked off a massive controversy over her disturbing remarks on Prophet Muhammad.
Since then, India has faced so many widespread protests from both sides, and this attack on a man named Ankit Kumar Jha has now revived the whole controversy.
Since then, he has gained a lot of attention and has been trending across several social media sites. He has been the subject of much discussion, particularly because his and the police statements were matching with each other. So, let’s learn more about him and his case:
Who Is Ankit Kumar Jha?
Ankit Kumar Jha is a young man who has recently been in the news after he alleged that he was attacked because he watched Nupur Sharma’s video.
Currently, he is 23 years old. He is a resident of the Sitamarhi district in the Tirhut Division of Bihar. He was stabbed six times, and his condition is currently described as critical. At the moment, he is getting treatment at the Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH).
Why Was Ankit Kumar Jha Attacked?
According to accounts, when the Islamists became enraged and decided to assault Jha with a knife, he was on his phone viewing a video of his own social media status regarding Nupur Sharma.
Ankit Kumar Jha reportedly got into a fight with the accused guys at a roadside when he went to a neighbouring paan shop. The accused continued verbally harassing the victim before exhaling cigarette smoke in his face and then stabbing him six times.
The victim’s family claims that the Nanpur police purposefully excluded the identity of Nupur Sharma in order to downplay the case’s communal undertones.
Even Ankit who is on his hospital bed reportedly told Dainik Bhaskar the following statement:
I was watching my social media status of Nupur Sharma on the phone when one of them stabbed me from behind.
What Police Is Saying In This Case?
It’s interesting to note that the police have rejected a communal dimension to the crime and asserted that Jha’s support for the former BJP spokesperson was unrelated to the murderous attack on him.
Station House Officer (Nanpur police) Vijay Kumar Ram discussed the situation with Hindustan Times and stated,
For some unknown reasons they started fighting with each other. Suddenly, the accused, identified as Gulab Rabbani alias Gora, stabbed Jha from behind.
