A dacoit carrying a reward of one lakh is gunned down in an encounter with the police but this action becomes the centre stage of caste politics.
This is how political mentally had ruled the state prior to 2017.
And now such forces were again making all out efforts to divide people into caste and reap maximum political mileage in this populous state of Uttar Pradesh.
A dacoity worth more than 1.5 crore was committed in a jewellery show room in Sultanpur district on August 28.
A band of dacoits had looted the shop owned by Bharatji Soni at gunpoint and escaped on two wheelers but despite such a sensational crime, the Samajwadi party has announced to make this police encounter into a political issue from the street to the assembly.
The Samajwadi party claims it was not an encounter but a case of murder. One Mangesh Yadav was killed in this encounter.
Leader of opposition Lal Behari Yadav went to the killed dacoits village home Agraura in Jaunpur to sooth the emotions of the family members of Mangesh Yadav.Samajwadi Party leaders delayed the cremation.
LoP Lal Behari Yadav claimed that the police had picked up the alleged dacoit from his home on Sept 2. Three days later police concocted the encounter story.
He has demanded registration of a case of murder against the police.
Samajwadi Party leaders Akhilesh Yadav talked to the family members if Mangesh Yadav on phone.
