Anuj Chaudhary, a BJP leader from Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh, was fatally shot outside his home in Moradabad on Thursday night, according to the police.
CCTV footage captures Mr. Chaudhary, 34, as he is being shot numerous times by three individuals on a bike as he is walking outside his residence with another person. After being taken to BrightStar Hospital in Moradabad, Mr. Chaudhary passed away from his wounds, according to the police.
Family members blame political rivals for the murder, notably blaming Amit Chaudhary and Aniket. Following information about the occurrence, the police responded, conducted an investigation, and, using the family’s claims as evidence, filed a case against four people.
“There was personal rivalry between the two parties. A case has been registered against four people. Five teams have been formed to arrest the accused. Strict legal action will be taken after arresting the wanted accused soon,” the Moradabad Police said in a statement.
