Trouble continued to mount for jailed Samajwadi Party Member of Parliament Mohammad Azam Khan as the Rampur police lodged 11 more FIRs against him, taking the total cases against him to 100.
Azam Khan has been lodged in Sitapur jail for the last ten months along with his MLA wife Tazeen Fatma and disqualified MLA son Abdullah Azam in connection with a fake birth certificate case. Besides, they have also been named in cases of encroachment, land-grabbing, power theft, book theft, idol theft, goat theft, buffalo theft and bullying.
During the hearing through video conferencing on Thursday, the Rampur police told the Special MP/MLA Court that Azam Khan’s name was added to 11 more FIRs.
Earlier these cases were registered against his close aides for illegal demolition of houses in Rampur.
Additional district government counsel in the MP/MLA Court, Ramavatar Saini, said that Azam Khan was not named in the FIR lodged by the complainants but during investigation and on the statements of the accused, his name was added.
