Rahul was injured when police resorted to firing to control the crowd. The incident occurred near gate number two of NTPC, eight km away from Bisara.

Rahul’s cousin, Narendra, said, “He had no connection with the lynching. If the bullet had hit him a little above the hip, he would have been killed.”

Narendra said the only leader to visit them was BJP MLA from Sardhana, UP, Sangeet Som. “He gave us Rs 20,000 and said that he would take care of all hospital expenses.”
