Notice issued to Azam Khan for buying land illegally

Rampur Revenue Council on Friday issued a notice to Senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader, Azam Khan after he allegedly bought a land for Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur district assigned to Schedule Castes.

The notice was issued after former minister Bahadur Saxena's son, President of Bharti small industries; Akash Saxena lodged a complaint with the state Chief Minister, Yogi Minister.

On March, the district administration had filed 10 cases against the senior SP leader.
