Earlier in the day, INLD Secretary General Abhay Singh Chautala vehemently condemned the murder of Nafe Singh Rathee, asserting the need for swift action against the suspects, saying, "The suspects in this case should be immediately arrested. We completely trust the Haryana Police but we do not trust the state government because this is a political murder. Nafe Singh Rathee demanded security many times in the past..."
He reiterated the party's demand for a CBI probe into the matter and stated, "The matter should be investigated by the CBI in the presence of a sitting judge... The CM has publicly said that he cannot ensure the safety and security of the common man in the state... The family of Nafe Singh has suspected a few people, and instead of taking action against the suspects, I've heard they have tightened their security... Whatever decision is taken by his family, his 'khap' and the people of his region, will be the decision of our party."
