Rampur (Uttar Pradesh): Rampur MP and Senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan’s eldest sister Nikhat Aflaq was allegedly taken into police custody on Friday afternoon.
Speaking to media on the issue Azam Khan's wife and Rajya Sabha MP Tazeen Fatima said that she doesn’t know why Nikhat has been picked by the police.
“The police and administration have crossed all the limits of atrocities. Around one hour back, the eldest sister of my husband was taken away by the police. She was offering Namaz as it was Friday, but the police dragged her out of Namaz and didn't even let her wear her Burqa,” said Fatima.
Fatima further alleged that there was no warrant or prior information given to Nikhat.
“She was simply dragged out of the house. Is that even democratic? We have no information about where she has been taken to? Is that how the police work by taking a single woman who is a senior citizen and a heart patient in such a way? The police could’ve questioned her in a proper manner if they wanted to,” said Fatima.
"She is also a member of Jauhar Trust and even I am a member of it. The police didn't reveal why she was taken into the custody," added the Rajya Sabha MP.
Meanwhile, Rampur SP said that there are a lot of cases of alleged land grabbing registered against Jauhar trust which is being investigated. Nikhat, who is the Treasurer of the trust is being inquired about payment details and records of the trust.
