Actually Azam Khan is lodged in Rampur jail since 17 November 2025. He was sentenced to seven years in prison in another case by the MP-MLA Court. Most of the dozens of cases filed against Azam Khan are still pending in the courts. In this context, this case related to inflammatory speech was also going on in the court for a long time.
This case occurred during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, when Azam Khan was contesting from Rampur parliamentary seat as an alliance candidate of Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party. A case was registered against him for a speech he gave while addressing the workers in the SP office during the election campaign. It was alleged in the case that Azam Khan incited the workers to violence through his speech and made objectionable comments against the then District Magistrate Rampur and other administrative officials. In this regard, an FIR was lodged in Rampur city police station by Aam Aadmi Party state spokesperson and then Congress leader Faisal Khan Lala.
Court acquitted Azam Khan
The prosecution presented a CD as evidence in the court, in which Azam Khan was shown saying that some officers ‘want to bathe Rampur with blood’ and in the districts where he has been posted, ‘weak people have been suffocated with acid.’ During the hearing of the case, arguments were presented by the prosecution and defense. After the arguments of both the parties were completed, the court evaluated the evidence and acquitted Azam Khan considering that the charges could not be proved.
