Dear fellow Dwarkaites,
Many of you may be knowing Yashwant Prakash ji, who was a known face
in Dwarka and a very active IAC activist. His 77 years old father was
recently kidnapped, kept hungry and then brutally murdered in Jaipur.
A former BJP councilor is alleged to be behind the murder. The details
about it may be read in these news articles:

This is to request all the support for him in whatever manner
possible. We do want our country to be a safe place and criminals
cannot be allowed to roam free - however high profile or influential!
Please note that media has most thoroughly ignored his fast and it has
not been covered by any mainstream media so far!
Indefinite Fast
-------------------------
Dear Friends
I have decided to go on fast to protest against the horrible
corruption that I am facing into investigation of murder of my 77 yr
old father Shree Anand Swaroop Sharma. He was kidnapped on 20th
January 2012 and his dead body was found with his throat deeply cut,
on 27th Jan 2012 in a partially built room on an empty plot in Pratap
Nagar locality of Jaipur about 20 km away from his residence.
Abduction was done to persuade him to sell his property which is on a
main city road that has turned commercial.
Police have arrested two people and blatantly presented a story that
is foolish and legally untenable to allow the arrested accused get out
of jail as soon as possible.
At the same time suspected main conspirator who was a councillor
earlier and now deals in property business has been let off by the
police overlooking the strong circumstantial evidences against him
that are on record and have been communicated to the police
repeatedly.
Post mortem report indicates that the old man was tortured for a few
days before being murdered. There are ante mortem injuries found on
his body and he was also found to be kept hungry for a long time
before given food just before killing him.
There are many other anomalies, blatant manipulation of evidences and
twisting of facts in the story given by the police
This is a usual way of helping criminals to make money. This is also
one of the unstated reason for convictions in the serious criminal
cases to be less than 20% in our country. This 20% also mainly
comprises of the people who were not resourceful and hence could not
influence investigation or those who were falsely implicated by the
powerful people.
This is also the way of weakening our society and in turn the country.
The cancer of corruption has spread in all spheres of our society
making it un capable of even protecting the people who are dependent
on it viz old, children and women. This has happened to the country
that was ones known for its valour, ethics and strong social system.
Can we ever expect to be developed in true senses with this rot eating
away core of living in our country???
I have decided to fight and do my bit.
I have been advised not to fight since the people who are corrupt are
powerful and can attack me. I guess it is too late for that advice.
While serving in the defence forces for 23 yrs, I was advised by the
same society not to show my back to the people who attacked our
country whatever may be the odds. I have decided to do it through the
non violent way since the enemy is within.
