Aas Mohammad, a resident of Palla village in the Dadri Kotwali area of Greater Noida, has been arrested for attempting to murder Mahamandaleshwar Swami Prabodhanand Giri Maharaj in a temple in Ghaziabad district, UP. The accused is also a serial grooming jihadi who has exploited many Hindu girls, and received funding from banned terror outfit PFI.

On October 3, the Ghaziabad police arrested a man named ‘Sameer Sharma’ with a pistol and a knife from the Narmadeshwar Mahadev temple in Masuri area of Ghaziabad district, UP. He had come there with the intent to kill Mahamandaleshwar Swami Prabodhanand Giri Maharaj of the Juna Akhara order, who is also the national president of the Hindu Raksha Sena. Swamiji was present in the temple at the time, but luckily servitors caught the accused after uncovering the weapons during checking.

It was revealed during interrogation that Sameer Sharma was none other than Aas Mohammad of Greater Noida. It is said that Mohammad had been doing recce of the temple for some time and had also stayed there for 1 night on September 21.

Swami Prabodhanand Giri Maharaj had taken part in the Dharma Sansad in Haridwar last year where various Hindu seers had deliberated on strategies for defense of Hindu society which is under siege, facing almost daily attacks and religious cleansing at hands of Islamists in multiple pockets across the country. Some statements made at the sansad were deemed controversial and the conference dubbed a ‘hate event’ by Hindu-hating mainstream media outlets like NDTV. This dog whistling by Hinduphobic elites has now painted a target on the back of Hindu seers, just like Mohammed Zubair achieved by distorting Nupur Sharma’s words on a TV debate.

While the Haridwar event made international headlines, the repeated anti-Hindu hate speeches – including Hindu-hate mongering and genocidal threats by maulanas like Tauqeer Raza, from mosques and dargahs, by politicians like Akbaruddin Owaisi, and even by bishops and Dravidianists, is swept under the carpet. Even when hate speech by maulanas is directly proven to cause ‘blasphemy’ murders of innocent people, no one bats an eyelid. The blood-thirsty ‘sar tan se juda’ (behead those who disrespect Mohammad) mobs that have unleashed murder and mayhem across Bharat are termed ‘protestors’.

Ghaziabad police is now trying to unearth Aas Mohammad’s entire network. The police have been questioning his neighbours about him and his absconding family members.

Aas Mohammed married non-Muslim girls by taking funds from the PFI. The Delhi police also reached his house when one of his relatives was found to have attended the Tablighi Jamaat in the past, said sources. According to the sources, Mohammad has been married thrice and worked as a blacksmith along with his father. Despite being out of work for many years, the duo still had money coming in.

The first marriage reportedly took place in Morna village of Noida. Details of his second marriage aren’t known yet and he went by the name Sameer Sharma and married a girl from the neighbouring village in his third marriage. As per one report, Mohammad is a 34-year-old graduate (BA) and he had also managed to obtain fake documents to prove his ‘conversion’ to become Sameer Sharma, most likely for the third marriage.

Dainik Jagran reports that Aas Mohammad had trapped and exploited more than 15 Hindu girls using standard Love Jihad tactics. He also instigated other Muslim youth to follow his example. This religiously indoctrinated monster would drug his victims, before raping them and leaving bite marks on their body parts. He would record their nude photos and videos in order to blackmail them against marrying any Hindu youth in the future after they discovered his true identity.

His victims included girls from Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar and even Jaipur. He would rent rooms in Dadri and Meerut for his evil acts. He always had funds to splurge and in one case he promised a girl that he would make her an IAS officer and even sat for the UPSC exam along with her.

Hindu society is facing an unprecedented, genocidal and shape-shifting threat. Our enemies are totally unscrupulous and indoctrinated to view us as sub-human ‘kafirs/pagans’. The secular state has not only failed in its duty to protect Hindus, but its institutions are designed to, at best, act after a crime occurs. Our police is poorly trained and excessively politicized, while judiciary is more obsessed with its liberal image than creating effective deterrents by delivering speedy justice.

At this point, Hindus are justified to take whatever measures are necessary and legitimate for our self-defense. Community vigilance and policing are a must in this scenario, as is holding law enforcement and governments accountable irrespective of party politics.

Our elites will continue demonizing Hindus for trying to control access to our temples and religious events – but such incidents show exactly why we need to circle the wagons. Non-Hindus who are genuinely respectful of Dharmic traditions will understand our predicament and co-operate. Maintaining socio-economic social distancing from radicalized communities has become an unfortunate necessity, and we have to devise our own mechanisms to carry out due diligence & vetting, to protect our children from the evil that lurks online and offline.
