Bhim Army Chief Chandra Shekhar Reaches Sonebhadra

Sonebhadra (Uttar Pradesh): Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar ‘Azad’ defied all police arrangements and quietly sneaked in the Umbha village in Sonebhadra district of Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday to meet the victims of the July 17 carnage.

Chandra Shekhar later told reporters that the villagers belonging to the Gond tribal community were being threatened even days after the carnage and hence, they should either be given security cover or arms license to protect themselves. “I had to sneak into the village on a motorbike to meet my people. Had the administration known about my visit to Umbha, it would not have let me come here and meet the families of the victims. The information being circulated that firing took place from both sides is completely false. No villager has any firearm or license,” he said.

Chandra Shekhar announced that his Bhim Army will help the victims in whatever way possible. (IANS)
