Earlier, Superintendent of Police Ajay Pal Sharma had said that there was a land dispute between Laalta Yadav and Ramjeet Yadav in Kabiruddinpur village in Gaurabadshahpur police station area.
He said that at around 7.30 am on Wednesday, Laalta’s son Ramesh was removing grass from the disputed land saying that he was part of the Diwali cleaning. People on the other side stopped him, after which the argument escalated.
Sharma said that when the matter got heated, Ramesh cut Ramjeet’s 17-year-old son Anurag who was there with a sword and ran away.
Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav has targeted the state government over the incident and said that when the government becomes weak and ineffective, criminals become stronger and more active.
Yadav said to X, “There is a strange contradictory relationship between modern government and crime. On the one hand, both are together, and on the other hand, when the government becomes weak and ineffective, the criminals become stronger and more active.
