Earlier, video and a few pictures emerged online featuring an attack on an elderly couple in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh.
Video of Abhinav Singh son of BJP leader Birbal Singh beating old man goes viral on Twitter/X
The viral video features a man threatening an elderly man sitting at the door of his house, telling him to go somewhere and apologize according to his instructions.
The man can be heard threateningly telling the elderly man, “Don’t speak, stand quietly… get dressed and go apologize to them. I’ll count to ten.” Despite the threat, the elderly man refuses to go with him, saying, “I can’t go right now. I have work.”
Hearing this, the man loses his temper and asks again, “Won’t you go now?” When the elderly man shakes his head in refusal, the man slaps him hard on the face.
Identity of the Man
The man in the videos is identified as Abhinav Singh, the son of Birbal Singh, a BJP leader and Nagar Chairman of Bijnor. It is reported that Abhinav had a minor dispute with the retired bank manager, which he took as a matter of pride.
He had been pressuring the elderly man to apologize for several days, but the elderly man was not willing. Over this trivial issue, Abhinav slapped the 70-year-old man, who is around his father’s age.
When Abhinav attacked the elderly man, his wife came out upon hearing the sound of the slap. Abhinav then turned towards her. Despite all this, the elderly man addressed him as “son” and asked him to spare his wife, signaling her to go inside the house.
However, when the wife, angered by the attack on her husband, questioned Abhinav, the elderly man told her not to engage with him.

Upon hearing this, Abhinav Singh once again raised his hand against the elderly man, threatening the woman and reminding her of her “place as a woman.”
When the elderly man protested, Abhinav slapped him again. Hearing the commotion, neighbors arrived and tried to stop Abhinav.
After the video surfaced online, netizens have been demanding action from the UP police and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath against the reckless and arrogant son of the BJP leader.
Many users are also asking when a bulldozer will be sent to his house.
Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party’s post on X questioned the Chief Minister as they wrote on the platform, “Where is CM Yogi sleeping? Is the police waiting for an NOC from the BJP district president to arrest the culprits?”
Currently, after the video of the attack on the elderly couple went viral, the Bijnor police have taken note of the incident and registered a case.
