Akhilesh Yadav blames Yogi Adityanath over singer Ankit Balyan's killing, cites gang name similarity

In New Delhi, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav publicly targeted Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath over the recent homicide of singer Ankit Balyan. Yadav asserted that the criminal group suspected of the shooting bears a name that strikingly resembles that of a prominent figure in the state, implying a connection to the chief minister's circle. He framed the comment as a direct political swipe, linking the murder to broader concerns about law and order.

The case involving Balyan remains under investigation, and no response from Yogi Adityanath's office was reported. The episode adds to the ongoing rivalry between the two parties in Uttar Pradesh politics.
