Police have arrested three accused in the case of firing during a dispute between two factions of the party in the Jan Akrosh Rally taken out by the Congress Party in Datia on Thursday.

In the preliminary investigation, the police found that the 315 bore rifle from which the firing was done is in the name of Bharat Singh, uncle (relative) of accused Sachin Gurjar.

In this case, the police have also started the process of suspension of arms licenses and increased the section of Arms Act. After registering a case in Kotwali police station, accused Sachin Gurjar son of Rampal Singh Gurjar resident of village Khiriya police station Pandokhar and Ramu Gurjar son of Bharat Singh resident of Sadar (former Congress youth district president) were arrested on Thursday itself.

At the same time, the third accused Pawan Mudgal son of Santosh Mudgal resident of village Ghanauti Pandokhar has also been arrested by the police.

The police have also clarified that two shots were fired from the licensed rifle. There has been no firing/attack of any kind on accused Ramu Gurjar and Sachin Gurjar. In this regard, CCTV footage around the incident has been checked. The incident of the accused attacking themselves is completely baseless.

From the interrogation of the people present at the scene, police personnel and observation of the viral video regarding the incident on social media, it was also found that Sachin Gurjar, a companion of accused Ramu Gurjar (former Congress Youth District President), fired at the complainants with a 315 bore licensed rifle. All this evidence is being included in the investigation. The byte given by accused Ramu Gurjar (former Congress Youth District President) on social media regarding the attack on himself is completely misleading and baseless.

It is worth noting that complainant Rohit Gurjar, a resident of village Sundarpura of Dheerpura police station area, told the police that on Thursday, August 8, the Congress's Jan Akrosh rally was going from Kila Chowk to Purani Kachehri, when on the way near Sita Sagar, Ramu Gurjar (former Congress Youth District President) and his companion Sachin Gurjar were giving wrong speeches on the DJ. Complainant Rohit and his cousin Parvender Gurjar stopped both of them from giving wrong speech.

On this, the accused started arguing with Rohit, meanwhile the people present there intervened. After the Jan Akrosh rally ended, Rohit Gurjar and cousin Parvender Gurjar were standing near Hinduja Mall at around 4:30 pm, when Ramu Gurjar (former Congress youth district president), Sachin Gurjar, Pawan Mudgal and three other people who came in a car started talking about the dispute that happened during the rally.

During this, Sachin Gurjar fired at Rohit from a rifle from inside the car. The bullet passed near the complainant's left ear and hit the glass of the car. In this incident, pieces of glass hit Rohit near his right eye, due to which he started bleeding after getting injured.

After the firing, Rohit Gurjar and his cousin Parvender Gurjar ran away from there, meanwhile Sachin got down from the car and fired at them again.

Sub-inspector Shatrughan Mishra and other policemen on duty promptly snatched the licensed rifle from the youth and confiscated it and caught both the accused and handed them over to the Kotwali police. The third accused Pawan Mudgal was arrested on Friday.
