Azam Khan's name in FIRs lodged by 26 local farmers

Samajwadi MP and former Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan has finally been declared a 'land mafia' by the Yogi Adityanath government.

The Rampur district administration put Khan's name on the 'anti-land mafia' portal late on Thursday after 13 FIRs were lodged against him on land-grabbing charges. The name of Alay Hasan Khan, a former circle officer in Rampur was also put on the same list.

Both, Azam Khan and Alay Hasan had been named in the FIRs lodged by 26 local farmers, accusing them of forcibly acquiring their land for the Jauhar University during the Samajwadi regime in the state.
