UP Minister has met with the family who attacked on me: Asaduddin Owaisi

After Uttar Pradesh Minister Sunil Bharala extended support to the persons who attacked his car, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi claimed that BJP had been "exposed". On February 3, shots were fired at his vehicle near the Chhajarsi toll plaza while he was heading to Delhi after campaigning in Kithaur, Meerut. Speaking to the media on Thursday, Owaisi expressed surprise over the fact that Bharala didn't trust his own government's investigation. He said that this was an example of BJP indulging in "appeasement politics". The Hyderabad MP also revealed that he didn't accept Z-security because of BJP's intentions. 

Stoking a row ahead of the Uttar Pradesh election, state Minister Sunil Bharala assured support to the persons accused of attacking



Asaduddin Owaisi's car. He met the families of Sachin Sharma and Shubham, who have been arrested in connection with this case, on Tuesday and demanded an impartial inquiry into the incident. Bharala contended that one does not become a criminal simply after a case is registered. Casting aspersion on the involvement of the aforesaid accused, he claimed that their faces were not visible in the CCTV footage. 

"In the CCTV camera, the assailants are seen wearing masks. Their faces are not clearly visible. That is the argument of their parents as well. They want these faces to be sent to the forensic agency and a probe should be conducted. Their mobile location is a matter of investigation," the UP Minister added.
