A Judge’s Car Serving as an Ambulance: Chouhan Writes to the Chief Justice of the MP High Court, Asking for Pardon for ABVP Men

In a letter to Chief Justice Ravi Malimath of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan begged for pardon on behalf of two ABVP employees who had been detained for using a judge’s vehicle to transport a sick person to a Gwalior hospital.

Himanshu Shrotriya, 22, and Sukrit Sharma, 24, the deputy secretary of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, were taken into custody on Monday under the MP Dakaiti Aur Vyapharan Prabhavit Kshetra Adhiniyam, an anti-dacoity law. They had stolen the car’s key from the driver at the Gwalior railway station and were transporting Ranjeet Singh, the vice-chancellor of a private university in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, to the hospital.

They are now being held in judicial custody after their bail was denied on Wednesday. The student branch of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is called the ABVP.

“It is a different sort of crime committed for a holy cause and done on humanitarian grounds for saving life, it is worth forgiving,” Chouhan said in a letter to Justice Malimath on Friday. Himanshu Shrotriya, 22, and Sukrit Sharma, 24, did not intend to commit any crimes. Therefore, they deserve forgiveness while considering their future.

Sanjay Goyal, a special court judge for dacoity cases, noted that one should approach people politely and not violently while seeking assistance, even if he denied them bail.

Citing the police notebook from the event, the judge said that an ambulance—the perfect vehicle for this kind of thing—had come to take the sick guy home.

The ABVP’s MP section secretary, Sandeep Vaishnav, had earlier defended the pair in a speech on the subject, claiming they were attempting to assist a guy whose health was quickly declining and that they were unaware the automobile belonged to a high court judge.

While riding a train from Delhi to Gwalior, a few ABVP guys saw a passenger’s condition deteriorating. They informed the other ABVP employees at the Gwalior station of the information.

At the Gwalior station, the ill guy was disembarked by the protestors, but he said that no ambulance arrived to take him to safety for around 25 minutes.

The man’s health was failing, so the ABVP members drove him to the hospital in a vehicle parked outside the station, but Vaishnav reported he passed away.

The early post-mortem report indicates that Ranjeet Singh (68), the vice-chancellor of a private university in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, died of heart failure, according to Gwalior’s Inderganj City Superintendent of Police Ashok Jadon.
