Muzaffarnagar riots: 'No case against Azam Khan'

September 23, 2013 15:22

In the backdrop of demands for the arrest of state cabinet minister Azam Khan in connection with the Muzaffarnagar riots, a senior SP leader today said no case or FIR had been registered against him and there was no basis for his arrest.

"No case has been registered against Azam Khan in connection with the violence in Muzaffarnagar, nor has he been named in any FIR. On what basis should he be arrested," National General Secretary Ramasre Kushwaha told reporters.

He was replying to a query that only leaders of BJP and other parties were being arrested for their alleged role in the riots, though there were allegations of Khan's involvement too.
