Azam Khan Walks Free After 23 Months Behind Bars::
Senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was released from Sitapur Jail after spending 23 months in custody. His release followed bail granted by the Allahabad High Court in a land encroachment case linked to the Quality Bar project in Rampur.
Khan had to complete formalities, including fine payments and bail verification, before walking free. His release drew a large crowd of supporters and party workers, who gathered outside the jail with slogans and celebrations. Police enforced security measures and issued prohibitory orders to manage the situation.
This marks a major moment for the Samajwadi Party, as Khan is a prominent leader in Uttar Pradesh politics. Party leaders welcomed his release and accused opponents of using legal cases to suppress dissent.
Khan still faces multiple other cases, but his exit from jail is expected to revive his political presence ahead of the upcoming elections.
