New Delhi: Despite tall claims about law and order by the Yogi Adityanath government, Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhim Army chief and the national president of the Azad Samaj Party, was attacked in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, June 27. A bullet grazed the 36-year-old Azad's abdomen in the attack by car-borne assailants in Deoband when Chandrashekhar was returning to Saharanpur after attending a turban ceremony for the mother of one of his colleagues. Azad was admitted to the hospital. Azad Samaj Party informed the media that Azad suffered no major injury.
Police recovered the car used in the attack from Miragpur village of the Saharanpur district and have arrested four suspects in connection with the case.
