The bypolls to nine Assembly seats has sparked heated exchanges between the ruling BJP and the Opposition Samajwadi Party
Amid a wave of allegations of electoral malpractices in the bypolls to nine Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has shared a video in which a police officer can be seen charging at women with a revolver pointed at them. Mr Yadav has identified the cop as in-charge of Kakrouli police station in Muzaffarnagar district's Meerapur Assembly segment. मीरापुर के ककरौली थाना क्षेत्र के SHO को चुनाव आयोग तुरंत निलंबित किया जाए, क्योंकि वो रिवॉल्वर से धमकाकर वोटर्स को वोट डालने से रोक रहे हैं। @ECISVEEP@SECUttarPradesh@rajivkumarec@spokespersonECI@ceoup#ECI#YouAreTheOne#IVoteForSure#UPPolitics#SamajwadiPartypic.twitter.com/WfiygzqO0t
"The SHO of Kakrouli police station in Meerapur must be suspended immediately because he is threatening voters with a revolver and stopping them from voting," he wrote in a post on X.
In the video he shared, a woman is heard telling the cop, "You don't have the order to fire." The cop, revolver in hand, walks towards her shouting, "we have the orders". The woman stands her ground and says, "This is not right."
