Adityanath’s claim of fearless UP empty, says SP leader, sharply criticizes Bhadohi’s shooting of principal – ThePrint – PTIFeed

Bhadohi (UP), Oct 25 (PTI) UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s claim that there is no fear of criminals in the state is baseless, Samajwadi Party leader Lal Bihari Yadav said on Friday, condemning the brazen killing of a school principal.

Leader of the Opposition in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council Lal Bihari Yadav made these remarks in Bhadohi, where he had gone to meet the relatives of Yogendra Bahadur Singh, the inter-university director of the university, who was shot dead on Monday by unidentified bike-borne assailants.

“State Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s claim of a fear-free society is empty and his words have no substance. The Prime Minister claims that the state’s criminals are either abroad or in prison. If this was the case, then why don’t these incidents stop,” Yadav told reporters.

He also accused government officials of arrogance and advised them not to forget that they are “public officials.” Superintendent of Police Meenakshi Katyayan said the 56-year-old principal of Indra Bahadur Singh National Inter College was shot dead in Amilori village around 10 am, a few meters from his house.

He was only about 200 meters from his home when two people rode up on a bicycle and opened fire on his car after puncturing it.

They then approached the car, shot the director sitting inside and drove away.

The victim was employed as a teacher in the college in 1994 and was appointed principal on July 1, college manager Ashish Singh Baghel had earlier said. PTI COR NAV VN VN
