The legislator further said, “If Dhirendra Singh had not fired in self-defence, dozens of his family members would have been killed. I have to say this to the people of Bairia and to the administration that this incident should be condemned but the other side should also be kept in front. Anyone who has committed a mistake should be punished. If someone is shot, then he should also be punished, but those who have injured 6 to 7 people with sticks and bricks, action should also be taken against them.”
Surendra Singh also said that license of Gun is obtained for “self-defence” only. On Thursday afternoon, the process of allocation of government quota shops was going on in Durjanpur area of Ballia.
