A physical altercation ensued between BJP leaders GS Dharmesh and Ram Babu Harit during a funeral procession in Agra. The incident was sparked by a request from Dharmesh to Harit to move aside.

A video has surfaced from Uttar Pradesh's Agra showing a heated altercation between two BJP leaders that escalated into a physical scuffle.

As per eyewitnesses, Harit was walking ahead while recording the event on his phone when Dharmesh approached him and made the request, triggering a heated exchange.
