Bahujan Samaj Party Leader Mohd Shami was shot dead by bike-borne assailants in Allahabad on Monday early morning, hours after Yogi Adityanath was sworn in as the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.

Shami died after being reportedly shot at five times. According to reports, a case has been registered against local leaders linked to BJP.

The incident took place in Allahabad's Mau Aima when Mohammed Shami was sitting outside his home, when he was fatally shot.

It is also learnt that Shami had recently joined the bahujan Samaj Party during the UP assembly election. Earlier, he was working for Samajwadi Party where he was a close aid of Mulayam Singh Yadav. Even when he was in working for Congress party, he was very close to late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
