“As the first phase of polling for Uttar Pradesh Assembly election is nearing, the campaign heat in Uttar Pradesh is rising. While the politicians have been training guns at each other over several issues, an incident of firing at AIMIM chief has shocked everyone.
Yesterday, Asaduddin Owaisi who was on campaign trail in Uttar Pradesh tweeted that four rounds of Bullets were fired at his vehicle while he was retuning from Merath to Delhi. He also shared a picture of his car which had the signs of bullet hits. Owaisi later said the bullets punctured a tyre and he had to switch vehicles. He said he would meet the Lok Sabha Speaker and write to the Election Commission of India.
Owaisi’s tweet led to widespread shock and outrage. Several on twitter prayed for his safety and expressed dismay over lack of security to an MP.
Police initially said that shots were fired in the air, however, later based on CCTV footage obtained the police caught two accused. One was caught from the spot. Whereas the other person was caught after being named by Sachin. In the initial investigation they said that they were upset with Owaisi brothers’ speech. However, a look at one of the accused’s social media posts raise question that whether BJP affiliated persons are trying to vitiate the atmosphere before elections? Will the law and order situation in the state is being harmed deliberately before the elections?
