In a charged atmosphere, Dharm Raj Singh, father of Anuj Pratap Singh, shot down in a police encounter, decried political motives behind his son's death. Claiming selective law enforcement, Singh highlighted the contradiction of detaining individuals with minor cases while sparing those with serious accusations.

The controversy deepened as Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav and Congress's Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led government of caste-based political maneuvering. Yadav dubbed the police as 'Special Thakur Force,' suggesting casteist angles in the ostensibly staged encounters.

Rahul Gandhi condemned the alleged violation of law and order by authorities themselves, demanding further investigation. The incidents have ignited a political firestorm, questioning the credibility and intent behind police actions in Uttar Pradesh.
