Staff Reporter

BJP workers sat on strike in protest against the attack on a senior party worker in Shahjahanabad area of the State capital on Tuesday. During protest, the party workers blocked the road at Iqbal Maidan for about one-and-a half-hours from 12 noon. Addressing workers, Alok Sharma, former Bhopal Mayor, said that there has been a deadly attack on our senior worker Bhagwandas Dalia. At the time of the attack, the accused said that our brother Atif Arif Aqueel has won, now you will have to pay ‘hafta’. I have this video. In this way, efforts are being made to spoil the atmosphere of the city. We will not tolerate this, we are not afraid. Now there is BJP government, there will be no place for goons and miscreants in old Bhopal.

Alok Sharma said that everyone should have to obey law. The laws are same for each citizen of Bhopal but they are not being followed in the old city. Local markets in old city don’t wrap up business by 11 pm. Laxmi Talkies, Emami Gate and Qazi Camp remain open till 4 am. Now this too will be closed at 11 o’clock. I have also spoken to Collector Bhopal in this regard. Apart from this, Alok Sharma has also made many allegations against the police for not taking action.

DCP (Bhopal Zone-5 ) Riyaz Iqbal said that a person has been attacked by 4 people in a Shahjahanabad area near the Military Gate. FIR is being lodged in the matter. One accused Golu has been identified. He is a resident of Bhind, but has been living in Bhopal for a long time. He has been booked under sections 307 and 327 of IPC. Other accused will also be identified soon.
