Anticipatory bail of SP MLA Shazil Islam rejected

BAREILLY: The court of additional district and sessions judge (ADJ) in Bareilly has rejected the anticipatory bail plea of SP MLA Shazil Islam Ansari on Friday. The Bhojipura MLA was recently booked following a viral video purportedly showing him using "objectionable language" against UP CM Yogi Adityanath and some BJP members.

Police registered a case against the MLA under IPC sections 153 (provocation with intent to cause riot), 504 (intentional insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation). A few days later, his petrol pump "constructed on ceiling land that belonged to the state" was razed by Bareilly Development Authority (BDA).
