Meanwhile, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, which shared the disturbing video clip on Twitter, targeted the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh. "Will the wolves of Godi media and the BJP also celebrate this death?" the party asked, taking a dig at the ruling BJP over celebrations after Atiq's murder.
