Who was Nafe Singh Rathee ?
In the town of Bahadurgarh in Jhajjar, the event happened as Rathee was driving an SUV and the attackers, who were in a different automobile, attacked him. There were reports that the attack claimed the life of another party leader.
Leader of the INLD Abhay Chautala told india Today tv that Rathee was shot and killed in the Jhajjar area. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a congress politician and the former chief minister of haryana, also denounced the attack and attacked the haryana administration for it.
"It is extremely sorry to learn that Shri Nafe Singh Rathi, the president of INLD State, was shot and killed in Haryana. This is a reflection of state law and order. It is evident from this occurrence that law and order has collapsed. Nobody in the state feels secure right now, according to Hooda.
An INLD leader informed news agency PTI that the 70-year-old lawmaker has been the target of death threats over the previous several days.
In addition, he sought the resignations of the home minister and the chief minister, accusing them of neglecting to protect Rathee even when there was a threat to his life.

On the Samata party platform, he was elected as an mla in 1996, marking the beginning of his political career. Later in 2000, Rathee won another election, this time on the INLD ticket.
Rathee also served two terms as the Bahadurgarh Municipal Council's chairman.
