Two men were arrested on Wednesday for the alleged attack on the convoy of SP Singh Baghel, the union minister who is contesting against Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav from Karhal, police said.
Two men, Umakant Yadav and Vinod Yadav, were arrested on Wednesday in connection with the arrest, said officiating superintendent of police (Mainpuri) Madhuban Kumar. According to Baghel’s complaint, Yadav led the attackers. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader filed a first information report (FIR) complaining that on Tuesday night, his convoy was attacked with stones and sticks near Attikullapur village in Uttar Pradesh’s Manipuri district. Baghel escaped unhurt but the window of a vehicle in Baghel’s convoy was shattered.
