IG Meerut says there is talk of firing at Pilkhuwa Plaza; we are watching CCTV. Owaisi’s convoy was going through this route; there was a mutual debate among some people, so much information was received. At present, no one is injured.
An independent inquiry into the matter
After firing on the convoy, Owaisi said that we are telling both the Modi government and the state government that it is their responsibility to conduct an independent investigation into the matter. How can it be that four rounds are fired at an MP? Some time ago, there was a talk with the Additional SP; he has said that a person had been caught, the weapon had also been recovered.
We request the Election Commission to conduct an independent inquiry into this matter. At the same time, Hapur SP Deepak Bhukar said that after the attack on Asaduddin Owaisi’s car, the police immediately reached the spot and detained a suspect in the case. Weapons have also been recovered. One of his accomplices has fled; the search is on for him.
