UP authorities demolish crops of accused in RSS worker killing case

Authorities in Devariya, Uttar Pradesh, have demolished a rice crop belonging to individuals accused in the fatal beating of an RSS worker, officials said. The district administration deployed bulldozers to destroy the standing crop, which had been cultivated on illegally occupied government pond land. The demolition marks a significant enforcement action in what local officials describe as a serious case of criminal violence. The accused had allegedly cultivated the rice field on land that was under illegal occupation. The state administration's move reflects efforts to take action against those involved in the incident, though details regarding the investigation into the RSS worker's death remain limited. The destruction of the crop follows standard administrative procedures against unauthorized occupation of government property in the region.
