Congress MLA’s son staged attack, absconds
A man named Saurabh Raj, who is a councillor and the son of a Congress MLA, was hurt in an attack.
At first, it seemed like bad people hurt him, but the police found out that Raj planned the attack with his friends.
He did this because he was having problems with his wife and wanted people to feel sorry for him.
The police arrested four people who helped him, and now Raj is hiding.
His dad, who is a politician, is very surprised and sad about what his son did.
Saurabh Raj, son of Congress MLA Tilakraj Behar, staged his own attack in Rudrapur on January 18.
Raj colluded with his friend Inder Narang and three others to orchestrate the attack.
Four accused—Vansha Kumar, Badshah, Deepak Singh, and Inder Narang—were arrested for criminal conspiracy.
