Patna: Since May 7,
Rakesh Ranjan Yadav
, alias Rocky, has probably been the most searched Bihar man on
Facebook.
The social networking site has been searched as many as 1,44,287 times - as of Tuesday evening - for "Rakesh Ranjan Yadav'', ''Rocky Yadav'' and "Rocky Yadav Gaya''.
The night of May 7 was when the 23-year-old son of a Bihar lawmaker allegedly shot dead a schoolboy who made the mistake of overtaking his high-end Range Rover.
As many as 53,748 people searched for "Rakesh Ranjan Yadav" (the name on an FB account), 69,789 people searched for "Rocky Yadav" and 20,750 people used the search term "Rocky Yadav Gaya" to look for information on the alleged killer. His profile - if it is indeed his - does not have any information about what job Yadav has or what he studied.
But it has plenty of photos that display his muscle power.
One picture posted on the occasion of a Vishwakarma Puja shows ten automatic rifles placed together at what appears to be a 'puja'. Another photo posted on October 13, 2012 shows Yadav and four other men with rifles on their shoulders. It's captioned, 'MY Snipers 4 a terror watch-in Gaya, India'.
Yet another photo posted on August 11, 2015 shows Rocky with pistols in each of his hands. This one is captioned, 'Testing the new ones' and has 117 'likes'.
The account holder has also shared a video on his timeline, in which two girls are dancing in a victory procession after the JD (U)-RJD-Congress alliance won in last year's assembly election. Shouts of 'Jhaanse mein na aayenge, Nitish ko jitayenge' can be heard on the video.
On the other hand, the Facebook page created for 'Justice for Aditya Sachdeva' had received only 8,351 'likes' as of Tuesday evening.
Hari Singh
, a Delhi-based BPO employee who along with his friends created this page, said, "We do not know Aditya personally, but after we came to know about this incident, we were really upset. Such incidents by politicians' relatives are not new, but we need to stand together and fight against them."
Referring to Rocky's FB profile, Hari said, "Look at the kind of photos he has posted. There are firearms which common people are not allowed to keep..."
