In the sensational daylight shooting incident in Kankhal, Haridwar, in which Sachin Chauhan and Krishnapal alias Nanu were injured, the accused, Atul Chauhan, has surrendered. It is reported that Atul Chauhan belongs to the BJP faction.
BJP Leader Fired at Brother of District Panchayat Vice-President
The accused BJP leader, Atul Chauhan, surrendered at the Kankhal police station. He also handed over his licensed weapon to the police. The police are currently interrogating Atul and conducting raids to apprehend the other accused. The role of the Tehsil administration is also under scrutiny following the shooting. The big question now is why the administration was negligent when the situation was already tense.
The Case is Related to Illegal Plotting
The entire matter is related to illegal plotting, a complaint about which was filed by Atul Chauhan. The Tehsil administration had gone to the site with the complainant, Atul Chauhan, regarding this complaint. According to local sources, the Tehsil administration went to the site to resolve the dispute without taking any police force or ensuring any security arrangements.
Questions Raised About the Role of the Tehsil Administration
Surprisingly, the complainant was also called to the spot, as if they were waiting for the situation to escalate. Ignoring the rules, the Tehsil administration did not even inform the village headman, even though informing the headman before any site inspection in a village is a mandatory part of the administrative process. Despite this, neither the headman nor the police were present during the shooting, and the consequences are evident.
This irresponsible working style of the Tehsil administration fueled the violence. If the administration had acted according to the rules, two people would not be fighting for their lives in the hospital today. A tense atmosphere prevails in the area after the incident, and a heavy police force has been deployed. The question also arises: if the police could be deployed later, why not earlier?
