In this situation, the District Magistrate has ordered that a case be filed for spreading panic and violating the code of conduct. A Tarabganj police officer acknowledged the firing of aerial firecrackers at the convoy after a preliminary probe.
A video of fireworks going off in BJP candidate Karan Bhushan Singh’s convoy from the much-contested Kaiserganj parliamentary seat has gone viral. A clip of the video that was posted on Karanbhushan Singh’s Facebook wall also went viral. Through Nawabganj and Tarabganj, which are part of the Kaiserganj Lok Sabha constituency, the caravan arrived at the Belsar (Ragarganj) market on Saturday. There were multiple locations where the welcome ceremony program was taking place. Concurrently, the Ragaganj market witnessed a series of firecracker explosions. Neha Sharma, the district election officer, has taken notice of the whole situation and has immediately launched an investigation.
He stated that a preliminary investigation was undertaken by Police Area Officer Tarabganj, and it was discovered that firecrackers were used instead of guns. Bursting firecrackers in a crowded area is also against the code of conduct. The viral video is also under investigation. A thorough examination of the entire situation is being performed. Action will be taken once the report of the Flying Squad Team (FST) and senior police officers is received.
The Superintendent of Police, Vineet Jaiswal, stated that the police personnel on the scene had informed them that aerial firecrackers had been set off. A comprehensive report on the subject has been requested. He claimed that there is no such thing as severe gunfire; instead, firecrackers were let off. Karan Bhushan Singh is the MP’s youngest son. On Friday, he submitted his nomination to the party. The caravan left Vishnoharpur in the morning on Saturday, and welcome programs are taking place throughout the city. Meanwhile, a viral video emerged. In addition, the video was shared on the party candidate’s Facebook and other social media accounts.
Dr. Satyendra Singh, Chairman of the Nawabganj Municipal Council, is seen halting the supporter who made the video. The BJP has nominated Karan Bhushan Singh, the son of former President of the Indian Wrestling Federation and BJP MP from Kaiserganj, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is facing sexual exploitation charges against female wrestlers. On Friday, prior to the nomination, State Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya arranged a public meeting in his favor. On Saturday morning, when Kaiserganj MP’s son and BJP candidate Karan Bhushan Singh led a procession of vehicles, the route was completely clogged. During this time, individuals were troubled for hours. There was a long line of automobiles in the convoy.
