On Thursday, Sonu Chauhan, a leader of the Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM), was arrested by police in Madhya Pradesh in connection with the murder of forest guard Harikesh Gurjar, who was 33 years old. Gurjar was killed while attempting to stop a tractor-trolley loaded with illegally mined sand from the Chambal river in the Ambah range of Morena district. The tractor involved in the incident is reportedly owned by Chauhan, who is allegedly working with another individual, Pawan Tomar, in the illegal sand mining business. The incident occurred when Gurjar signaled the tractor driver to halt, but the driver accelerated and ran over him, resulting in fatal injuries. The driver, Vinod Kori, is currently at large. The Supreme Court is also involved, as it is hearing a case concerning illegal sand mining in the Chambal river, highlighting the broader implications of the incident.
