On December 3, violence erupted in Bulandshahr which resulted in the murder of Inspector Subodh Singh and a youth named Sumit Kumar.

According to police, Shikhar was allegedly involved in instigating the mob which went on a rampage on December 3 killing the police officer and setting on fire a police post and a number of vehicles.

The police took more than a month to arrest Shikhar though he kept on uploading his videos on social media claiming innocence in the whole incident. Shikhar also gave interviews to several TV channels while in hiding.

Agarwal had said in one of his interviews that it was the slain inspector “who created tension by stopping him and others from taking some carcasses to the Chingrawathi police post for filing an FIR over the alleged cow slaughter,” as reported by PTI. 

A mob of around 500 people, most of them right-wing activists, clashed with the police in Siana area of Bulandshahr district on December 3, after allegedly discovering cow carcasses thrown in a nearby jungle. It is to be noted that Inspector Subodh once investigated Akhlaq lynching case.
