Political Scandal Erupts in Himachal Pradesh Amidst Shooting Allegations

A fierce political showdown has rocked Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, as ex-Congress MLA Bumber Thakur accuses BJP MLA Trilok Jamwal of protecting drug mafias and plotting an assassination attempt against him. Meanwhile, Jamwal refutes the claims, accusing Thakur of being involved in organized crime himself.

Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, has become a battleground for allegations between two political adversaries, with former Congress MLA Bumber Thakur accusing BJP MLA Trilok Jamwal of involvement in drug trafficking and planning an attack on him during the festival of Holi.

Thakur, who was recently discharged from IGMC Hospital in Shimla after surviving a shooting, went directly to the Assembly to make explosive allegations against Jamwal. Thakur claimed the attackers, who have allegedly confessed, were protected by Jamwal and involved in drug-related crimes.

In rebuttal, Jamwal dismissed the claims as baseless and accused Thakur of having connections to criminal activities himself. Jamwal called for a CBI inquiry, arguing that the real masterminds behind criminal activities in Bilaspur are linked to Thakur, painting a picture of a deep-rooted political scandal in the region.
