A Samajwadi Party press conference in Gorakhpur on Saturday was disrupted after supporters of former district president Nagina Sahani and party leader Anshuman Singh clashed over seating arrangements.
The argument escalated into a physical altercation during which Sahani was allegedly slapped by Kamlesh Singh, the son of Anshuman Singh.
Anshuman Singh claimed rivals were attempting to tarnish his image, while Sahani accused the opposing faction of misbehavior, assault, and bringing illegal weapons.
