Prayagraj: Former Samajwadi Party candidate Amarnath Maurya chased away Municipal Corporation officers with a rifle. The officers arrived to remove illegal encroachments from a park in Pritam Nagar, Dhoomanganj police station area. The police have filed an FIR against Maurya and his unknown supporters.
Dispute Over Land Use
The Municipal Corporation aimed to clean land adjacent to the STP in Pritam Nagar Colony, where locals organize an annual Ganesh Puja lasting nine days. Maurya opposed the cleaning efforts, claiming the land belongs to him and is enclosed with a boundary, supported by documents. In contrast, the Bhartiya Kisan Union argues that the land is part of Vivekanand Park and hosts the Ganesh Puja every year. They accuse SP leaders of forcibly occupying the land and blocking its cleaning.
Viral Video Captures Confrontation
A video circulating on social media shows Maurya approaching Municipal Corporation employees with a rifle, then running after them as they retreat with a JCB. Anuj Singh, State President of the BKU Tikait group’s youth wing, shared the video on Twitter and called for police action.
