Prayagraj: Police stopped Chandrashekhar Azad, the MP from Nagina, from going to Isota village to meet the family of a person who died of burn injuries, following which his angry supporters created a ruckus and vandalised two police vehicles on Sunday, official sources said.
The family of the deceased, Devishankar, had claimed that he was burnt to death after he succumbed on April 13. Chandrashekhar reached the Circuit House here but was stopped by police due to security reasons as he tried to head to Isota village to meet the family, they said.
