Uttar Pradesh: A shocking incident emerged from Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district on Monday. BJP Leader Gulfam Singh Yadav was killed by three unidentified assailants who allegedly injected him with a poisonous substance. According to SP Sambhal KK Bishnoi, the police received the information from the Junawai Police Station about the ‘pradhan’ of a village being attacked with an injection.
How Was He Murdered?
According to reports, the 60-year-old BJP Leader was sitting at his Daftara village farm when three bike-borne assailants approached him. Police said that the accused fled the scene after committing the crime. He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, which referred him to Aligarh, but he died on the way. An investigation into the murder has been launched, and the police are checking the CCTV footage to track the accused.
Reports revealed that the men arrived to meet Yadav in disguise and inquired about his health. They asked him for water, and when he bent down to serve them, one of the accused injected a poisonous substance into his stomach. A post-mortem was conducted at Aligarh Medical College, but the cause of death remains unclear as of now. The officials have reportedly preserved Yadav’s viscera (organs) for further medical examination. An empty injection and a helmet were recovered from the murder scene.
Who Was Gulfam Singh Yadav?
Gulfam Singh Yadav contested against Samajwadi Party Leader Mulayam Singh Yadav in the 2004 by-polls from the Gunnaur assembly seat. He competed on a Bharatiya Janata Party ticket and held many key positions within the party. His wife was elected as the Pradhan from Dabhaura Himachal for a 3rd time.
