RAMPUR/LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan stepped out of the Sitapur jail on Friday after spending over 26 months in judicial custody, a day after the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in a cheating case. Later, after reaching home in Rampur, as thousands of supporters gathered outside his house to welcome him, Azam said, “It’s no less than a wonder that I am standing alive before you people”.
He said, “I was kept in British-era cells. Near the prison where I was held, there was a gallow where inmates were hanged earlier... Generations will remember my persecution”.
