Bulldozer working in UP: Samajwadi Party MLA’s petrol pump collapses in Bareilly
A petrol pump in Bareilly, which was owned by Samajwadi Party MLA Shazil Islam Ansari, was demolished by the district administration. The petrol pump was built illegally. It was constructed without obtaining permission from the administration.
Bulldog Petrol Pump was located in CB Ganj area of the city. Shazil Islam represents the Bhojipura seat in the Legislative Assembly.
Bareilly Development Authority (BDA) officials reached the petrol pump site with a bulldozer this morning amid heavy police security. The structure was demolished in the presence of local police and PAC personnel.
Notably, the bulldozer was promoted by the BJP as a symbol of its government’s action against criminals whose illegal properties were destroyed during the party’s previous term.
Recently, Shazil Islam had courted controversy after a video in which he was shown threatening Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Addressing SP supporters in Bareilly, he had said that ‘if (Yogi) says anything against us, our guns will not emit smoke but will fire bullets’.
Later, an FIR was registered against Shajil Islam for allegedly threatening the CM and making provocative statements.
