Controversial Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Legislative Assembly Sangeet Som, an accused in Muzaffarnagar riots, has been accorded Z category security by the Centre, a move that came under scathing attack from Opposition on Tuesday which termed it as a "license for killing" and a cruel joke with the victims.
In a daring attack inside the court complex in Faizabad, two persons allegedly threw crude bombs and opened fire at a local politician, prompting his gunners to retaliate, killing one of the attackers.
