    Two groups had a verbal spat, then shots were fired

  • The deceased were identified as Chote Lal Diwakar and his 28-year-old son Sunil.

    In the clip, a group of men can be seen having an altercation with another group on a narrow road, cutting across a field.

    Reportedly, both groups locked horns over the construction of a road under the MNREGA scheme. The accused opposed the construction as it infringed their fields.

  • In the horrifying clip, two men, holding rifles, were seen having an argument with the politician. In the middle of it, a man was heard saying, "Goli chala (open fire)."

    It was only seconds later that the accused aimed at the father-son duo and fired bullets.

    One of the accused was identified as Savinder, a local strongman.

  • Arrests

    No arrests yet, though people have been detained: Police

  • One person was seen lying after the firing and another one screamed.

    Firoz Khan, SP district president, revealed Diwakar was selected as the party's candidate for elections in the 2017 Assembly polls. He, however, didn't contest as the seat went to the coalition party. Khan blamed local goons for the murders.

    Yamuna Prasad, SP Sambhal, said no one was arrested so far.

  • Quote

    Probe is on, said Prasad

  • "Father and son died at the spot in bullet firing. The bodies were sent for post-mortem and FIR is being registered. Three teams were formed, some people were detained and the probe is on," Prasad told ANI.

  • SP's Dharmendra Yadav, who was a parliamentarian, expressed grief and called Diwakar a hard-working leader.

    50-year-old Diwakar was given a ticket from Chandausi assembly, Yadav revealed.

    Launching an attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, he said, "It's clear from the murder of our leader that cops are protecting criminals. SP workers are being killed openly in the state."
