Trouble appears to be brewing for Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma and rabble-rouser Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Sangeet Som with the Uttar Pradesh police seeking action against them for alleged violation of prohibitory orders in Bishada village where a 50-year-old Muslim was killed on rumours of his family eating and storing beef last week

A report filed by the police with the district magistrate of Gautam Budh Nagar district recommended filing of FIRs against the two leaders and also against Bahujan Samaj Party leader and former minister Naseemuddin Siddiqui. Superintendent of Police (Rural) Sanjay Kumar Yadav said the report has been filed against the three leaders who addressed the villagers in defiance of prohibitory orders in force in the area.

The leaders were given permission only to meet the family of the victim and not for addressing public meetings in view of the sensitive situation prevailing in the area.

Som, MLA from Muzaffarnagar, is already in the news as he had on Sunday said they were capable of giving a "befitting reply" if "innocents were framed" in the lynching case. He had also attacked All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen MP Asaduddin Owaisi for visiting Bishada and accused non-BJP parties of indulging in polarisation of politics.
