Azam Khan likely to be listed ‘land mafia’

New Delhi, July 14 

Slapped with over two dozen cases, Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan seems to be facing the most difficult time of his political career. Criminal cases have been registered against him in the recent past, but his woes have not ended with that.

The district administration of Rampur, the native town of the SP leader, is now contemplating listing Azam Khan as land mafia on the state government’s “Anti-Bhoo Mafia”(anti-land mafia) portal.  Azam faces over 30 cases in which a majority of cases relate to grabbing of either government land or land belonging to farmers. 

Rampur Superintendent of Police Ajay Pal Sharma said keeping in mind the long history of his involvement in land grabbing, Azam Khan’s name would be recommended to be listed on the land mafia portal. — IANS
