Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Ramji Lal Suman faced major protests from the Karni Sena here on Sunday while he was on his way to Bulandshahr. Protesters waved black flags and threw tyres at the convoy. They were demanding an apology from the MP for his remarks about Raja Rana Sanga, in which he stated in the Rajya Sabha that Rana Sanga was a traitor for inviting Babur to fight against Ibrahim Lodhi.

According to reports, four Dalits were crushed by a vehicle, and the police have since arrested four accused and seized the vehicle involved.
