NEW DELHI - A gunman went live on Facebook to warn he was taking his “final journey” before firing at a protest against India’s new citizenship law in Delhi on Thursday, wounding a student.
He shouted slogans against the protesters, including hijab clad women, before firing at them in the first such incident in the capital during more than a month of demonstrations. Thursday’s shooting raised concerns from the opposition that youths are trying to take the law into their own hands to crush any dissent against the government.
Minutes before firing, the shooter, who identified himself as “Rambhakt Gopal” had uploaded posts onto his Facebook profile saying this will be his “final journey” and urging readers to “remember his family”.On his Facebook the shooter had also posted photos of himself posing with a gun and he is seen wearing a saffron T-shirt, the color of Hindu nationalists.
“Is this what BJP leaders ... intended? Creating an armed militia of radicalized youth,” the party said in a tweet.
