“Umesh Kumar and Pranav Champion: Friends Turned Enemies – What Went Wrong?”

Haridwar: In Haridwar, Uttarakhand, a clash between two politicians escalated to the point of gunfire, drawing widespread attention. The rivalry between Khanpur MLA Umesh Kumar and former MLA Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion has become a hot topic on social media. However, few remember that these two politicians were once close friends. So, what went so wrong that their friendship turned into such a bitter feud, leading them to openly confront each other? Let’s delve into the details. The Fight Between Pranav Champion and MLA Umesh Kumar The recent gunfire incident in Haridwar has sparked significant controversy. For some time, Umesh Kumar and Pranav Singh Champion had been engaged in a war of words and issuing threats to each other. Things took a dramatic turn on the night of January 25, when Umesh Kumar, upset over a social media post by Champion, went to his residence in Landhaur. However, Champion wasn’t home at the time. In retaliation, Pranav Champion showed up at Umesh Kumar’s house with a pistol and began firing shots. Enraged by the attack on his bungalow, Umesh Kumar grabbed his pistol and was reportedly on his way to confront Champion. Police intervened just in time to stop him. To ensure no further escalation, a heavy police force has now been deployed in the area.

Pranav Champion’s Controversial Political Career Pranav Champion has had a career marked by controversy. He has been elected MLA from the Khanpur constituency four times and has served as a minister in several Uttarakhand governments. In 2016, he switched from Congress to the BJP, but his time in the BJP wasn’t without trouble. In 2019, he was suspended indefinitely from the party due to the use of inappropriate language and controversial statements. However, his membership was later reinstated. It’s worth noting that his family is linked to the Landhaur royal estate in Haridwar. Umesh Kumar and Pranav Champion: Friends Turned Rivals Interestingly, Umesh Kumar and Pranav Champion were once good friends. Their fallout began during the 2022 Assembly elections. Champion considered the Khanpur seat his traditional stronghold, but Umesh Kumar decided to contest as an independent candidate. Since Champion was unable to contest the seat himself, he fielded his wife as a candidate. Despite this, Umesh Kumar emerged victorious and became the MLA from Khanpur. This defeat didn’t sit well with Champion, and tensions between the two began to rise, ultimately culminating in the recent gunfire incident.
