Manesar of Haryana, about 18 km from Gurugram. One name of this city with a population of about 31 thousand is in discussion across the country – Mohit Yadav or Monu Manesar. New-age boys are his fans, while elders consider him the keeper of Hinduism.
Monu has been accused of killing three Muslims in a month. All three were thrashed on suspicion of being cow smugglers. However, the people of Manesar consider Monu a hero. They turn back and ask- 'Is it a crime to save cows, did Hindus just keep watching cows being slaughtered? Monu is the savior of Hinduism.
This can be understood from the talk of Monu's tenant and Vinay Kumar Singh, who is associated with his cow protection team. Vinay says- 'Monu Bhai is saving our mother cow, which is being slaughtered by 'these' people. Apart from this he did nothing. Congress and BJP are doing politics in the name of Monu. Monu did not kill anyone. This has also been proved by the CCTV camera footage. We want a CBI inquiry into the matter.
There are 4 CCTV cameras installed in Monu's house, 3 of them inside the house and one towards the street. Monu had released the CCTV footage claiming that he was in the house on the day Junaid and Nasir were killed.

Is it wrong if a Hindu takes a pledge to save cows?
When I reached Manesar and inquired about Monu, people were seen running away. No one was even ready to tell where his house is. After walking about half a kilometer, a boy told about the street where Monu lives. Then he also said that 'don't tell my name to anyone'.
I asked him, 'What kind of boy is Monu?
Got the answer- 'It is not at all like what the media is showing. He never fought in the village. He is very sociable, helps everyone. He is not a bully, not even a goon. What is wrong if a Hindu takes a pledge to save cows. Monu along with his team goes to rescue cows from smugglers, not to kill anyone. He can never kill anyone. He is loved by everyone in the village.
The boy told, 'At present the villagers have decided to speak only in the panchayat. We do not want anyone's words to harm Monu.
Locked in Monu's house, family members went on pilgrimage
I reached near the street where Monu Manesar's house is located. Asked the address of his house at the nearby shop and the people standing there. We roamed for 20-25 minutes within a radius of 150 meters, kept asking again and again, but no one told Monu's house.
The meaning is clear, no one wants such a journalist to reach Monu's house, whom they do not already know. Well, I called the guy who gave me the street address. After some hesitation, he told about the house.
Monu's house in Manesar, currently only one tenant is living here. Monu is underground after the murder of Junaid and Nasir. The family is also not at home.

Now I had Monu's home address. When we went ahead through a lane, we saw a big gate in front of us. The gate is closed, the tricolor is waving inside. I went straight to the house. Monu Manesar lives here. When I entered the verandah of the house, I found some people smoking hookah in front of me. The lock was hanging in a room, two cows were tied in front. I started a conversation with a person sitting in front of the hookah. This is Vinay Kumar Singh, who lives on rent at Monu's place. I started talking…
Where is Monu?
Vinay - Don't know. We didn't talk since the 16th.
Where are his family members?
Vinay- Have gone to Ayodhya on Shivratri.
I took Vinay into confidence and said, I have come to know about Monu. You are saying that he is not a murderer, so how is he, just want to tell people this.
Somehow Vinay Kumar Singh agreed. Said- 'Monu's family members have gone to Ayodhya to celebrate Shivratri on 18 February. Will be back in a day or two. However, he took the name of Haridwar instead of Ayodhya on camera. It came to know that it is forbidden to tell where the family members are.
On February 17, Rajasthan Police raided the house of Shrikant Sharma of Bajrang Dal in Nagina, Haryana. Srikanth is Monu's accomplice and is accused of murder in the case of the charred bodies of two Muslim boys found on 16 February. One of Monu's two rooms is locked since the day after the raid at Srikanth's house. Actually, Monu's big looking house has only three rooms. He and his family live in two.
The family consists of mother, wife and a child. A tenant lives in the third room. The remaining share belongs to Monu's tau and uncle. Only tenants live in it. Monu's cows and a dog are being looked after by the tenants.
