The son of a former BJP MLA was shot dead close to the Uttar Pradesh legislature complex late on Saturday night. The issue is likely to rock the State Assembly and the Legislative Council on Monday.

Speaker Hriday Narain Dixit said if members were bent upon derailing the listed business, stopping the live telecast during the pandemonium may be considered.

Vaibhav Tiwari, 36, son of former Domariyaganj MLA Prem Prakash Tiwari, was allegedly shot at from point blank range barely 300 metres from the U.P. legislature building, police said.
