The BSP leader, Haji Ehsan (50) who was also the party’s poll in-charge for Najibabad assembly segment and his nephew, Shadaab(27) were shot dead in their office at Gurudwara road in the town last Tuesday around 2:30 pm. While the two shooters have entered the BSP leader’s office by hiding the two pistols in a box of sweets ,their accomplice was on a motorcycle in the complex and within 70 seconds of the two barging into the office,the trio fled from the scene after firing ten bullets at their victims.
