On Sunday, the Samajwadi Party made severe allegations against a business conglomerate, claiming the group is 'grabbing land' from the Manjhi caste in Ayodhya. They also accused the group's goons of intimidating and physically assaulting local farmers.
The situation escalated when Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and his party released videos purportedly showing a conflict between two groups over land occupation. Police swiftly responded, stating that they are investigating the matter and that the accusations are unfounded.
