At a BJP MP and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's attendance at an event in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh on Saturday, 2 groups, including the followers of a village head and his political adversary, engaged in violence. Some of India's best female wrestlers have accused Singh of sexual harassment.
The two primary followers got into a brawl about taking a selfie, and the supporters of both sides pelted stones at each other. In the midst of this commotion, supporters threw rocks at the convoy of BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. BJP MPs were able to leave the event without incident. The video of this fight and stone pelting has been captured on the camera.
