In a fresh twist to the case pertaining to the attack on AMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi in Meerut earlier this month, a Minister of State in the Yogi Adityanath government Sunil Bharala visited the village of the alleged mastermind, Sachin Sharma, on Tuesday and offered support to his family.
Talking to reporters in Greater Noida, Mr. Bharala, who is a member of the committee formed by BJP’s U.P. poll in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan, demanded an independent inquiry in the case as he felt the role of Sharma and another accused Shubham was not clear.
Gunshots were fired at Mr. Owaisi’s vehicle at a Hapur toll booth on February 3. The police later arrested the two accused on the basis of the CCTV footage of the incident.
