BJP leader dies in Auriya, family alleges murder

Kanpur:Vice-president of BJP’s OBC Mandal Morcha, Sachin Rajput, died under mysterious circumstances in Auraiya district on Wednesday night. His wife and other family members have alleged foul play.
According to reports, Sachin had gone to attend a private function in a neighbouring village from his Jasakapurwa home.
The leader’s wife, Sonam, has claimed that her husband has been murdered over old enmity and lodged an FIR against two village men, identified as Nagesh Rajput and his aide Dilip Rajput, in this regard.
“Sachin, who was vice-president of BJP’s OBC Mandal Morcha, was reported to have gone to attend a private function at neighbouring Beelrai village along with Nagesh Rajput and Dilip Rajput late Wednesday evening. Late in the night, when he returned home, he complained of severe stomach pain and later slumped in the courtyard of his house and fainted. Family members rushed him to a private hospital in Dibiyapur, where doctors declared him dead on arrival,” said in-charge Kotwali Rajesh Singh.
Suspecting a foul play, the family members of Sachin created ruckus and refused police to handover his body for postmortem. They demanded immediate lodging of FIR and arrest of Nagesh and his aide Dilip, who are absconding.
Speaking to reporters, Sonam alleged that Nagesh and Dilip had poisoned her husband Sachin to death over old enmity. The parents and siblings also refused to give consent for autopsy of the body of Sachin. “They too demanded immediate arrest of Nagesh and Dilip,” said local sources.
“They were pacified and handed Sachin’s body to the police after police booked Nagesh and Dilip under relevant sections of IPC and launched a search to make their arrest possible,” informed President of BJP’s OBC Mandal Morcha, Sarvesh Pal while talking to reporters.
