Chandra Shekhar Azad claims shots fired at his convoy

Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad took to Twitter and said that shots were fired at his convoy in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district in a cowardly manner.

Bulandshahr: Azad Samaj Party national president Chandra Shekhar Azad on Sunday claimed that shots were fired at his convoy here.

However, Senior Superintendent of Police Santosh Kumar Singh said the incident has not been confirmed yet and only a news channel was running the report of the alleged attack.

"There are reports in media about shots being fired at Azad Samaj Party's Chandrashekhar Azad, the occurrence of the incident has not been established. A ruckus erupted between workers of Azad Samaj Party & AIMIM yesterday, if a complaint is filed we'll register case'', said Bulandshahr SSP SK Singh.

Azad posted on his Twitter handle that opposition parties were nervous that Azad Samaj Party had fielded candidates in the election.

"Today's rally has left them worried. This is the reason shots were fired at my convoy in a cowardly manner. It shows their disappointment over their poll loss and they want the atmosphere to be vitiated," he tweeted in Hindi.
