Ayodhya’s Majnai village witnessed a somber scene today as the remains of terror accused Abdul Rahman were brought back from Faridabad jail, where he met a violent end at the hands of another prisoner. Police forces in large numbers have secured the area ahead of his burial at the village graveyard.
The convoy carrying Rahman’s body, led by his grieving family including his father, reached the village under Thana Inayatnagar jurisdiction after a long drive from Haryana. Locals gathered quietly, under the watchful eyes of law enforcement.
Details emerging from the crime scene reveal a savage assault inside Faridabad’s Neemka Jail. Arun Chaudhary, a Kashmiri detainee shifted from a J&K facility, attacked Rahman with a pointed weapon during a late-night dispute in Barrack 3. The incident, clocked at approximately 2 a.m. on Sunday, proved fatal instantly.
Official statements from police spokesperson Yashpal Singh outline Chaudhary’s background in high-security wings. The probe delves into the altercation’s trigger, possibly rooted in deep-seated animosities between inmates.
Flashback to Rahman’s capture: On March 2, 2025, STF operatives intercepted him near Pali village armed with two hand grenades primed for an Ayodhya attack. Videos recovered showed reconnaissance of Ram Temple sites, prompting swift action and grenade neutralization.
As Ayodhya remains a focal point for terror threats post-Ram Mandir inauguration, this jailhouse killing highlights the persistent risks in detaining high-profile militants. The burial proceeds under vigilant oversight, symbolizing closure amid lingering concerns.
