An SUV that was apparently a part of the convoy of former WFI chairman Brij Bhushan's son Karan Bhushan Singh struck two persons and killed them. Karan is the Kaiserganj Lok Sabha candidate for the BJP in 2024.

Uttar Pradesh Gonda news: On Wednesday, May 29, 2024, police officers were positioned next to the remains of an escort car that was a part of the convoy led by BJP politician Karan Bhushan Singh, the son of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, and which is suspected of hitting a motorcyclist. 

According to authorities, an escort car that was purportedly a member of BJP candidate from Kaiserganj Karan Bhushan Singh's cavalcade on Wednesday in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, struck two young people, killing them and injuring a lady.

The former head of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and Kaiserganj MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is the father of Karan Singh. The BJP has announced Kaiserganj resident Karan Bhushan Singh as their candidate for the Lok Sabha.

When he was the WFI chairman, Karan's father, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, was accused last year of sexually harassing a few female wrestlers. Following the accusations of sexual harassment and the filing of criminal proceedings against him, he resigned from the office.
