AGRA: Hours before brandishing a country-made pistol and opening fire at a Jamia student, the minor from Jewar, who identified himself as ‘Rambhakt’, had posted on his Facebook wall: “Chandan bhai, ye badla aap ke liye (Brother Chandan, this revenge is for you)”. Kasganj youth Chandan Gupta was shot dead during a Tiranga Yatra he was leading through a communally sensitive area in the western Uttar Pradesh town on January 26, 2018.However, Chandan’s father Sushil Gupta told TOI that he strongly condemned this act of violence. “I condemn the act of opening fire at Jamia protesters in the strongest possible words. We are a non-violent society and protest should always be peaceful. I have lost my son to one such act of violence ,” Gupta said.“I support the Citizenship Amendment Act, but violence is not the answer for those who are against the law. In fact, this violent act hampers the government efforts on CAA. His act is not justified on any parameter,” Chandan’s father said.According to police, Chandan was killed in violence that began after a group obstructed another group taking out Tiranga Yatra to mark Republic Day, at Abdul Hameed Chowk in Kasganj city in 2018.
