A recent incident involving the son of a BJP leader has reignited discussions about state-sponsored violence in India. Abhinav Singh, son of BJP leader Barbal Singh, allegedly assaulted a 70-year-old man and his wife, as captured on CCTV footage. The elderly man was severely beaten, while his wife was slapped.
Local residents claim that the police have not yet filed a report on the incident. This event is being viewed as part of a larger pattern of intimidation and violence associated with BJP members since the party came to power.
International media has reported an increase in state-sponsored violence since the BJP took control of the government. As Prime Minister Modi enters his third term, concerns about the BJP's policies and actions continue to grow.
Critics argue that the BJP has consistently supported individuals accused of violent acts, like Abhinav Singh. This incident occurs at a time when the Modi government faces both political challenges and scrutiny over its policies.
