As tensions mounted in Delhi\u2019s Uttam Nagar following the death of 26-year-old Tarun Kumar, a video went viral showing a man openly calling for violence against Muslims. An Alt News<\/span><\/span> investigation has now identified the individual as Nayan Marken, a BJP functionary.<\/p>\n

On social media, he identifies himself as the “youngest national media panellist\/spokesperson Ujjwala Yojna @bjp4delhi\u201d and a former spokesperson of the BJP Yuva Morcha\u2019s Delhi unit.<\/p>\n

A Death, and a Neighbourhood on Edge<\/h4>\n

Uttam Nagar was rocked by communal tension earlier this month after a youth named Tarun Kumar died following a scuffle that broke out on Holi between members of two communities.<\/p>\n

According to the victim\u2019s family, the incident began when a child accidentally dropped a balloon filled with coloured water near a group of Muslim women passing by. The water splashed onto them, leading to a verbal altercation which escalated rapidly into violence. Within minutes, dozens of men \u2014 estimated at 50\u201360 \u2014 had gathered. Tarun, who was not present at the initial moment of the dispute, returned to find tensions already high and was allegedly attacked. He suffered a head injury and later died in hospital.<\/p>\n

Police, however, suggested the clash did not occur in isolation. DCP Kushal Pal noted that there had been prior disagreements between the families, including over parking \u2014 describing such disputes as typical neighbourhood friction.<\/p>\n

As Eid approached, the incident took on a sharper communal edge.<\/p>\n

In the days that followed, Uttam Nagar became a site of mobilisation. Several YouTube channels, many of which describe themselves as \u201cnews\u201d platforms, descended on the area, conducting on-camera \u201cinterviews\u201d with locals.<\/p>\n

These videos increasingly framed the incident not as a neighbourhood dispute but as a communal flashpoint. The format was familiar: emotionally charged questions, calls for \u201cjustice\u201d, and, frequently, demands for retribution.<\/p>\n

It is within this environment that one particular clip went viral.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoli maaro\u2026\u201d \u2014 a Call for Violence<\/h4>\n

The video, filmed as part of a vox pop by a YouTube channel called Opinion Post and published on March 17, shows a man responding aggressively to the interviewer.<\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rGuGvbJFaQQ?si=nnQkEc5j-PGlPSnV]<\/p>\n

Without any introduction or identification, the man launches into a tirade. He invokes political leaders, warns of retaliation, and targets members of the Muslim community with deeply abusive language, directed in part at Muslim women.<\/p>\n

“You simply wait and watch. We have Ashish Sood as the Delhi home minister; they (the perpetrators) will be dragged down, taken away from their mothers, stripped of their burqas and beaten up”, he says.<\/p>\n

At one point, the reporter asks:\u00a0“Politicians like Shoaib Jamai are saying that this matter must be bigger than what transpired on the day of Holi, there must be existing personal disputes between the two families already.” (Shoaib Jamai is the Delhi state president of AIMIM.)<\/p>\n

The man responds, “I have a message for this pet dog of Owaisi, this h***mz**a…”. The crowd chants, “Desh ke gaddaro ko”, the man completes, “…goli maaro b**dv* ko”. (Shoot the traitors of the country).<\/p>\n

When the reporter attempts to invoke law and order, he dismisses the idea outright: \u201cThere\u2019s no need for such law and order.\u201d He goes on to justify violence by referencing other incidents, framing retaliation as legitimate.<\/p>\n

The interviewer then says, “The administration has taken action; their house has been bulldozed”. The man’s response to this statement is the part of the video which has gone viral at the moment. As he finishes his statement, the crowd breaks into applause and chants, “Jai Sri Ram”, and another man comes forward to click a selfie with the man. After this, he walks out of the frame, and a woman from the crowd comes forward to speak.<\/p>\n

This video was shared, among others, by the X page @KreatelyMedia, which amplifies communal propaganda on a regular basis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At face value, the video appears to show an agitated local resident speaking in anger. But that is not the full story.<\/p>\n

Not a Random Voice:\u00a0Manufactured Outrage, Undisclosed Identity<\/h4>\n

Alt News traced the individual across multiple videos on YouTube channels posting similar content.<\/p>\n

In a video published on March 9 by a channel named Political Adda, the same man appears again \u2014 this time in a controlled, indoor interview setting. Here, he is formally introduced by the anchor, Neha Dwivedi<\/span><\/span>, as Nayan Marken, a media panellist.<\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P90SA8DSLJE?si=jdk60lrI7xh3H0Dw&start=56]<\/p>\n

We traced Marken\u2019s social media profiles. They reveal explicit political affiliations. His X bio<\/a> describes him as a \u201cYoungest National Media Panellist\/Spokesperson Ujjwala Yojna @bjp4delhi\u201d and a former spokesperson of the BJP Yuva Morcha\u2019s Delhi unit.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana\u2019 (PMUY) is a scheme to make clean cooking fuel such as LPG available to the rural and deprived households which were otherwise using traditional cooking fuels such as firewood, coal, cow-dung cakes, etc.<\/p>\n

That’s not all.<\/p>\n

His Facebook profile<\/a> shows him alongside senior BJP leaders, including Union minister and former BJP president J P Nadda<\/span><\/span>, Murli Manohar Joshi<\/span><\/span>, Nupur Sharma<\/span><\/span>, and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n
