Hubballi: In turn of events at Union Home Minister Amit Shah's campaign rally, the family of Neha Hiremath, who tragically lost her life, took to the stage to demand justice. The incident happened during Shah's Lok Sabha election campaign speech in Hubballi.

Neha's parents, accompanied by her brother, met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah prior to the commencement of the campaign meeting. Expressing their demand for justice, they were seated on the platform adjacent to the event stage.

Amidst speculation and discussion, Neha Hiremath's father, Niranjan Hiremath, a member of Hubli's Congress party, shared the stage with BJP leaders, garnering attention and raising questions about the arrangement of seats for Neha's family at the BJP's campaign event.

The presence of a member from an opposing political party on the stage of the Union Home Minister's campaign rally, alongside the stringent security measures in place, has sparked debates regarding the orchestration of the event.
