Tensions ran high in Hisar on July 20, 2025, as a massive Mahapanchayat of the Punjabi community convened to demand immediate justice for the brutal murder of local youth Paras Kukreja. The gathering, which saw participation from thousands of community members and social leaders, issued a stern ultimatum to the state government and police administration.
๐ข Community Unites Against Crime
The Mahapanchayat was organized in response to the police’s perceived inaction and delay in arresting the main perpetrators responsible for Paras Kukreja’s killing. Speakers at the event expressed deep anguish and anger over the deteriorating law and order situation in the city, stating that the business community and common citizens no longer feel safe.
Prominent leaders of the Punjabi community addressed the crowd, declaring that the murder was not just an attack on an individual but an assault on the community’s sense of security.
๐ Charter of Demands
The Mahapanchayat formally submitted a memorandum to the district administration with a specific set of demands:
Immediate Arrests: The swift capture of all accused involved in the crime, regardless of their political connections.
Compensation: Financial compensation (demanded amount often cited as โน50 lakh to โน1 crore in such cases) for the grieving family.
Government Job: A government job for a dependent family member to ensure their financial stability.
Security: Round-the-clock police protection for the witnesses and the victim’s family.
The leaders warned that if these demands were not met within a specific timeframe (e.g., 72 hours), they would escalate their agitation, potentially blocking major highways or organizing a state-wide protest.
