The 2023 Bhiwani Killings, also known as the Killings of Nasir and Junaid, refer to the brutal murder of two men, Nasir (aged 25) and Junaid alias Juna (aged 35), both residents of Ghatmika village in Bharatpur district, Rajasthan. On 16 February 2023, their charred bodies were discovered inside a burnt Bolero vehicle near Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani district.

The killings, allegedly perpetrated by cow vigilantes associated with the Bajrang Dal, sparked widespread outrage and renewed focus on vigilante violence in northern India. The case took a significant turn in July 2025 with the suicide of Lokesh Singla, one of the accused, who alleged harassment by Bajrang Dal members in a video recorded before his death.
