The organisation further asserted that it would not be responsible for any actions carried out by Rishabh Thakur in the future.
Who is Rishabh Thakur: Rishabh Thakur is the main accused in the attack on attendees of a birthday party hosted by a nursing student for her 10 friends, including two Muslims, in Bareilly on December 27, 2025 in Uttar Pradesh.
In visuals from the scene, as a song referencing “Bajrang Dal” played in the background, dozens of members of a right-wing group, led by Rishabh Thakur, can be seen assaulting male attendees while accusing them of “love jihad.”
Meanwhile, Bajrang Dal’s Bareilly Mahanagar unit, in a video statement shared on X on Sunday, said that Rishabh Thakur was expelled from the organisation on December 14, 2025, and relieved of all responsibilities.
“The person who cannot act in accordance with the organisation cannot be retained in the organisation. Therefore, he (Rishabh Thakur) has been removed from all his duties,” the Bajrang Dal, Bareilly Mahanagar, said in the video statement.
