Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Kishan has called for an investigation into the death of Congress worker Prabhat Pandey, who passed away on December 18 during a protest near the Uttar Pradesh Assembly.
Speaking to media, Ravi Kishan said, “I heard that he was not taken to the hospital when he needed it. The police need to investigate how that child died in the Congress office. First, Rahul Gandhi should answer how he died.”
Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak Responds to Allegations
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak addressed accusations by the Congress party that the UP Police were responsible for the worker’s death. Pathak criticised the Congress for allegedly misleading the public and urged them to focus on revealing the truth.
“I have talked to a relative of the deceased. When the deceased was brought to the hospital, he was declared dead. The Congress party should explain how they misguide the youth and take them to their office. The post-mortem has been conducted, and the truth will come out once the reports are available,” Pathak stated.
Investigation Underway
On Thursday, Lucknow Police visited the Congress office to investigate the circumstances surrounding Prabhat Pandey’s death. Raveena Tyagi, DCP Central, confirmed that a case had been registered, and cybercrime and digital forensic teams were involved in examining the incident.
“The cybercrime team and the digital forensic team are here and will investigate the matter and the spot of the incident,” Tyagi said.
The post-mortem report is expected to provide further clarity regarding the cause of death.
