The Government of India has reviewed the security of AIMIM Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi and provided him with Z category security of CRPF with immediate effect. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s vehicle was shot at near Chhajarsi toll plaza in Uttar Pradesh.
The leader, who was returning to Delhi after campaigning for Assembly polls in Meerut, escaped unhurt.CCTV recording of the incident, accessed by media, showed two shooters firing 3-4 rounds of shots at the AIMIM chief’s convoy.
One man, who can be seen in red clothes, has now been arrested by the police and another one has been detained. On being interrogated, the attackers revealed to the Uttar Pradesh police officials that they carried out the act as they were hurt by Owaisi’s anti-Hindu statements.
BJP spokesperson Rajeev Pandey suspected conspiracy behind the incident in order to polarise votes during the UP state elections.
