In a disturbing case of alleged power misuse, the husband of BJP block pramukh Sanjana Saini, Veer Singh Saini, has been caught on camera brutally beating a youth named Chintu with sticks in the middle of the road in Moradabad’s Kotwali Thakurdwara area . The assault, carried out along with his driver and another associate, has triggered widespread outrage after the video of the incident went viral on social media .
Video Sparks Outrage, Locals Watch in Silence
The video clearly shows Chintu being chased and assaulted with sticks as bystanders look on without intervening. The victim desperately tries to escape but is relentlessly beaten in full public view, raising serious concerns over law and order and public safety in the area.
What Both Parties Claim
- Veer Singh Saini, the accused, later went to the police station himself, claiming that Chintu had defrauded him of ₹17 lakh and had attacked him with a knife, allegedly injuring him.
- On the other hand, Chintu denies the allegations, stating that he was targeted for opposing Saini’s hooliganism and the beating was a planned act of revenge.
Police have conducted medical examinations of both sides and launched an investigation into the matter. Officials have stated that appropriate legal action will follow based on the findings.
Political Storm: Congress Slams BJP Over ‘Power Misuse’
The incident has sparked political controversy, with the Congress party criticizing the Yogi Adityanath-led government, alleging that BJP-linked individuals are misusing power to instill fear among common citizens. Congress leaders demanded immediate action and strict punishment, asserting that lawlessness is rising under political protection.
Local Administration Responds
Taking cognizance of the viral video, SP Rural Moradabad Kunwar Akash Singh has ordered a thorough investigation, assuring the public that justice will be delivered. However, the video has already ignited public debate and concerns about whether ordinary citizens can expect protection from politically connected aggressors.
Chintu Speaks Out
Chintu, still in shock, said:
“I had only objected to their bullying. This is why I was beaten. Nobody came forward to help me. I want justice and strict punishment for those responsible.”
In contrast, Veer Singh Saini remains defiant, maintaining that:
“Chintu betrayed me financially and injured me with a knife. I have informed the police. The truth will come out.”
A Case That Highlights Power Abuse and Public Apathy
This incident has once again brought the spotlight back on the dangers of unchecked political influence and public apathy during acts of violence. Whether justice is truly served will be closely watched-not just by Moradabad, but by the entire nation.
