Rampur: In a shocking development from Uttar Pradesh, 36-year-old Shambhulal Regar, who hacked to death a migrant worker in Rajasthan’s Rajsamand in December 2017, is set to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Rampur on a ticket from Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena (UPNS).
Regar is currently lodged at Rajasthan’s Jodhpur Central Jail as an undertrial.
In December 2017, Regar had allegedly murdered a West Bengal migrant, Mohammed Afrazul, and later burnt him. A video of the incident went viral, where, he justified himself by saying that he burnt Afrazul to “save a girl from love Jihad”. For the act, Regar was booked under nine sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
