A 65-year-old retired soldier, Satbir Gurjar, reached the Chief Minister’s Janata Darbar in Lucknow on Thursday after allegedly consuming poison. As soon as he arrived, he declared that he had ingested poison, causing immediate chaos at the venue.

Police personnel present at the spot promptly rushed him to a nearby hospital. His condition is currently reported to be stable and improving.

During preliminary investigation, Satbir Gurjar informed the police that he is a resident of Sirauli, Loni, Ghaziabad, and a Kargil war veteran. He stated that he came to meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with a complaint against Ghaziabad MLA Nand Kishore Gurjar.

A complaint letter found in his hands describes the MLA’s alleged misconduct. In the letter, Satbir claims that MLA Nand Kishore Gurjar had organised a conspiratorial 'Kalash Yatra' in April, which he says was intended to destabilise the BJP government. Upon learning about this, Satbir says he exposed the alleged conspiracy through social media platforms such as Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).

According to Satbir, since exposing the event, he has faced continuous harassment and threats from the MLA, comparing the actions to those of known criminal-politicians Atiq Ahmed and Mukhtar Ansari. He also alleged the existence of widespread corruption in the Loni assembly constituency, stating that crores of rupees are being collected daily under what he called the "Nandu Tax." He further claimed that part of these illegal funds is being distributed among high-level legal representatives.

In the letter, Satbir describes Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as his "Ishta Dev" (personal deity) and pleaded for protection, stating that his life is in danger.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Vikas Jaiswal confirmed that after Satbir Gurjar’s statement, the police of the relevant jurisdiction were informed, and the matter has been escalated to the Superintendent of Police (SP) of the concerned district.

Authorities are also investigating whether Satbir's actions were influenced or instigated by another individual. If it is established that someone prompted him to consume poison and file these allegations, legal action will be taken against both parties.
