The translation of his Hindi tweet reads, "Western UP has been gripped by thieves and miscreants these days. I have come to my village, and just now, thieves broke into a house. Hearing the noise, the villagers tried to surround them, but the thieves fired at the village people and escaped!
पश्चिम यूपी इन दिनों चोर, बदमाशों की चपेट में आ गया है, मैं अपने गांव आया हुआ हूँ अभी एक घर में चोर घुसे तो शोर सुनकर ग्रामीणों ने घेराव करने की कोशिश की लेकिन चोर गांव के ही लोगों पर फ़ायर कर फ़रार हो गये! आस पड़ोस के सभी गांवों में दहशत का माहौल है और हर गांव का हर व्यक्ति लाठी…
