UP court acquits SP leader Azam Khan in poll code violation case
RAMPUR (UP): Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was on Wednesday acquitted by an MP-MLA court here in a 2019 poll code violation case, his lawyer said.
The former Uttar Pradesh minister was accused of reaching a polling station during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in his vehicle to cast his vote while being a candidate. There is a ban on vehicles coming within 200 metres of radius of a polling station.
Khan's lawyer Mohammad Mursaleen said that the then SDM P P Tiwari had lodged an FIR against the SP leader alleging that he had brought his car inside the voting campus to cast his vote, in which he was charge sheeted.
