【How prevented ?】Tragic Accident Involving BJP Candidate’s Convoy Claims Two Lives in Uttar Pradesh

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh recently made headlines after top wrestlers accused him of sexually harassing women wrestlers. A Delhi court has framed charges against him in this case, which reportedly led to him losing his poll ticket. The BJP instead fielded his son Karan, who is also a wrestling administrator. His other son, Pratik Bhushan Singh, is an MLA from the Gonda seat.

Visuals from the accident site show the SUV with “police escort” written on the rear windscreen, indicating its VIP convoy status. The car’s number, UP32HW1800, is registered to Nandini Nagar educational institute, run by Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s family.

According to the FIR, complainant Chanda Begum stated that around 9 am today, her 17-year-old son Rehan and 24-year-old nephew Shahzad were on a bike to buy medicines when the speeding SUV hit them. Both died instantly. A 60-year-old woman, Sita Devi, was injured and hospitalized. A large crowd gathered at the site, with family members of the victims demanding justice.

The police have arrested the driver and seized the SUV. It is not yet confirmed if Karan Bhushan Singh was traveling with the convoy at the time of the accident. Senior police officer Radheysham Rai said the victims’ bodies have been sent for autopsy, and further investigation is ongoing.

Farman Khan, a relative of the victims, said there was blood on the road when they arrived at the scene and that the youngsters had been taken to the hospital. “Local residents told us Karan Bhushan Singh’s convoy of 4-5 cars was passing through and the Fortuner hit the bike. When we went to the hospital, doctors told us our children are dead. Please get us justice. We cannot think,” he said.
