Jaipur/IBNS: The Police Friday arrested one of the five men accused in the death of two Muslim men from Rajasthan whose charred bodies were found in an SUV in Haryana after they were allegedly kidnapped by cow vigilantes.

In a statement, the Rajasthan Police said Rinku Saini, 32, a resident of Firozpur Jhirka in Haryana's Nuh district, was arrested based on questioning and other evidence.

Saini, who is a taxi diver, was involved with a cow vigilante group, the police said.

The families of the victims had named Saini and four others as members of the Bajrang Dal in their FIR.

The deceased-Nasir, 25, and Junaid alias Juna, 35, both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, were allegedly kidnapped on Wednesday and their bodies were found inside a burnt Bolero SUV in Loharu in Bhiwani in Haryana Thursday morning.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot condemned the killing and promised stern action against the accused.

"One accused has been taken into custody and the search for the remaining accused continues," he tweeted in Hindi.

Alleging that its youth wing Bajrang Dal's name was being dragged into the case due to "political bias", the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) demanded a CBI probe into the incident.
