There was a war going on on social media

It is known that in the state assembly elections held in the year 2022, Umesh Kumar defeated Champion's wife in Khanpur area. Since then there has been tension between the two leaders.

Things got worse between the two

Meanwhile, Haridwar police arrested Champion from Dehradun and brought him to Ranipur police station late Sunday night and in the morning he was produced in the court of judicial magistrate. 

Champion sent to 14-day judicial custody
