The UP court on Wednesday acquitted Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan in a hate speech case filed against him over comments against UP Chief Minister in 2019.
Following the 2022 verdict, Khan was disqualified as an MLA.
In the case, a government counsel stated that the special court accepted the appeal filed against Khan’s sentence.
Khan’s counsel Vinod Sharma said, “We have been acquitted in the hate speech case. We are happy that we have got justice. Our contention that we had been framed in the case has been upheld by the court, and the judgment is in our favour.”
On April 9, 2019, the case against Khan was registered at Rampur. BJP candidate Akash Saxena defeated the SP’s Asim Raja (a close aide of Khan) in the polls.
