Prof. H. S. Sabharwal, a reputed scholar and academician was lynched to death by the goons of Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the BJP’s student wing, on August 26, 2006 in Ujjain’s Madhav College, in the broad daylight and in the presence of policemen.

The Madhya Pradesh Government first tried to hush up the dastardly murder and save the ABVP leaders, but, due to popular pressure, was compelled to register a case making sure of the acquittal of the culprits.

Mr. Himanshu Sabharwal his son and some of the right-minded people have been agitating for CBI enquiry and to transfer the case outside Madhya Pradesh for fair trial. The Supreme Court transferred the case to Nagpur in Maharashtra. They have also been agitating for CBI inquiry into his father’s death as the CID probe conducted by Madhya Pradesh Police has many loopholes. The BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh Government has totally ignored the call and still refuse to budge.

Mr. Himanshu has now decided to sit on fast-unto-death to pressurize the BJP Government of Madhya Pradesh for the CBI inquiry.

He will now undertake the fast from March 18 at Bhopal. NCHRO wants voices to be raised from all over India in support of him and mete out punishment justice to the criminals who brutally killed Prof Sabharwal and to expose the nexus between BJP politicians and the police in the state.
