Sambhal, 27 April (HS): Police

have filed a FIR under the Arms Act against three persons, including BJP

office-bearer Rajesh Singhal, an official said on Sunday. According to Asmoli

Station House Officer (SHO) Rajiv Kumar Malik, a photo of Singhal's personal

security staff clutching his revolver has circulated on social media. According

to the SHO, a FIR was filed under relevant provisions of the Arms Act following

a complaint from Head Constable Jawahar Singh.

Mohammad Faizi and Wasiul, both inhabitants of Bukanala village, were

mentioned in the FIR filed on Saturday, alongside Singhal. According to the

complaint submitted by the head constable, the image with the revolver was

purportedly shared on Facebook by Faizi and Wasiul, Singhal's personal security

staff. Singhal reportedly owns the

revolver.

However, Singhal disputed

the claim, calling it unfounded and unjustified. Asmoli Police Circle Officer

(CO) Kuldeep Singh stated that a charge was filed against three persons on

Saturday, and an investigation has begun. Singhal was previously the district

president of the Sambhal BJP and the BJP candidate for the Sambhal Assembly

constituency.
