Bareilly: A dalit man was shot at
allegedly by son of a BSP MLC and his two aides over a property dispute in Nawabganj area here, a charge denied by the politician.
"Kalicharan Jatav was shot at by Munendra Gangawar, son
of BSP MLC Kesar Singh Gangwar, and his two aides Rajendra
Singh and Buddhapal Buddhi last evening," a police official
said.
Jatav sustained bullet injury in his hand and was
admitted to the hospital, police said, adding that an FIR has
been lodged against Munendra and his aides.
Jatav had earlier alleged that the BSP MLC got his 15
bigha land auctioned in connivance with the officials of a
bank, from where he took a loan to purchase the property.
Meanwhile, MLC Kesar Singh said Munendra had not gone to
Nawabganj and alleged that the whole issue was a conspiracy by
his political rivals to malign his image.
He also denied that he was involved in the auction of
Jatav land.
