New Delhi: Anuj Chaudhary, a 30-year-old Bharatiya Janata Party leader from Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad, was shot dead outside his residence in Moradabad on Thursday evening. Chaudhary was allegedly attacked by unknown assailants on motorcycles while he was taking a walk outside his apartment. He was immediately taken to the hospital, but passed away during treatment, the police said, according to media reports.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Moradabad Hemraj Meena was quoted as saying, “The family members of the victim have filed a complaint and a case has been registered against two men, Amit Chaudhary and Aniket.”
Chaudhary contested the block chief elections from Sambhal’s Asmoli block but was unsuccessful. Chaudhary’s family has blamed political rivals for the killing. Police have registered a case against four people and are trying to track down the accused.
“There was personal rivalry between the two parties. A case has been registered against four people. Five teams have been formed to arrest the accused. Strict legal action will be taken after arresting the wanted accused soon,” the Moradabad Police said in a statement.
Further investigation is underway, the police added.
