"It has been 15 days and no arrest has been made. There has been no investigation. It indicates that matter is being brushed under the carpet. I have no option but to go to the Supreme Court and request for a SIT," Swami Agnivesh told ANI.
The spiritual leader, who was in Jharkhand's Pakur to attend an event on July 18, was in his hotel when a group of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) (the youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party) workers thrashed him.
Swami Agnivesh subsequently lodged a complaint with the Ranchi police stating that a group of people allegedly belonging to the RSS, and BJYM entered the premises and assaulted him.
However, no arrests have been made so far.
