BJP Leader Ajay Sharma Shot at Home in Uttar Pradesh by 4 Miscreants

UTTAR PRADESH: On Monday night, BJP leader Ajay Sharma was shot near the Phaphamau police station.

Sharma was shot five times, according to police, with bullets striking him in the shoulder and stomach. Sharma, the district Kisan Morcha's vice-president, is being treated at the Swaroop Rani Nehru (SRN) Hospital, according to the police.

Sharma, 35, who lives with his family in Lehra village, was reportedly beaten by roughly six attackers after leaving his home for some personal business, according to sources.

Sharma attempted to flee, but the assailants pursued him and fired roughly five rounds at him, seriously wounding him. After other residents arrived at the area after hearing gunfire, the attackers, who arrived by vehicle and bike, fled. The Prayagraj police have initiated an inquiry into the event and have questioned Sharma's family members as well as locals.

In a similar incident, one individual has been detained in connection with the death of a 37-year-old Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leader at his residence in West Bengal's Uttar Dinajpur district.

At approximately 9.30 p.m. on Sunday, Mithun Ghosh, a local leader of the BJP's youth wing, was shot. Doctors proclaimed him dead when he was carried to the hospital. Mithun Ghosh had gone out with two other persons and returned with two weapons. One of the firearms was used to fire the bullet that killed him. 

Also earlier this year, unidentified gunmen shot and killed a local Trinamool official in front of his father in West Bengal's Purba Bardhaman district. 

The ruling party in West Bengal claimed the BJP was behind the murder, which the opposition party rejected.

Chanchal Bakshi, a 40-year-old young Trinamool official from Ausgram's Devshala region, was returning home on a motorcycle with his father Shyamal Bakshi, the local panchayat president, from a party function when the event occurred.
