Forced Eviction: Rampur Court Convicts SP Leader Azam Khan

A court in Rampur has convicted Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Mohammad Azam Khan in an eight-year-old case of forcibly vacating a house and assaulting the owner.

The Special MP/MLA court found Khan guilty, according to his lawyer Vinod Sharma.

District government advocate for the MP/MLA court, Seema Rana, stated that the court will pronounce the judgement on Thursday.

Azam Khan appeared before the court via video-conferencing.

The victim Abrar filed a complaint in December 2016 against Khan and retired Circle Officer Barkat Ali. He alleged that they forcibly entered his house, damaged property, and assaulted him to compel him to vacate the premises.

Tazeen Fatima Released on Bail

Meanwhile, former MP Tazeen Fatima, wife of Azam Khan, has been released from Rampur District Jail after being granted bail by the Allahabad High Court last week.

On May 24, the court granted bail to Azam Khan, his wife Fatima, and his son Abdullah Azam Khan in a fake birth certificate case.

Fatima had been lodged in Rampur jail since October, 2023 following a conviction by the local court.

The Rampur Sessions Court had sentenced them to seven years’ imprisonment in a forgery case related to Abdullah’s birth certificates.

Case Details

The case dates back to January 3, 2019, when Akash Saxena, now the BJP MLA from Rampur, complained that Azam Khan and his wife obtained two birth certificates for their son.

After spending 6 months and 11 days in jail, Tazeen Fatima said, “Injustice has been defeated and somewhere justice is alive and justice has been delivered through the court.”

She also stated, “The punishment given to us is a coordinated conspiracy in which everyone was equally involved, including the police administration, the government, and even the media, which never tried to bring out the truth.”

Azam Khan and Abdullah Azam Khan are currently lodged in Sitapur and Hardoi jails respectively, due to pending cases.
