Lucknow: Criminalisation of politics has hit a new low in Uttar Pradesh where an engineer with the Public Works Department was murdered allegedly because he did not contribute to Chief Minister Mayawati's birthday funds.
An MLA of the ruling Bahujan Samaj Party has been arrested in connection with the assault.
Manoj Gupta was killed when MLA Rajneesh Tiwari’s men allegedly barged into his house in Auraiya - 250 km from state capital Lucknow - locked his wife in the bathroom and then beat him up.
Gupta was then taken in a critically injured state and dumped at the local police station by Tiwari.
The engineer's relatives allege that Tiwari was demanding Rs 50 lakh for Mayawati's birthday celebrations.
