Due to Khan's behaviour, tension has mounted in the state, he alleged, adding the state government has not fulfilled the expectation of the Muslims. After being detained, Bukhari was taken to Vasundra PWD Guest House by the city police.
With the arrest warrant being issued against him, BJP MLA Sangeet Som said in Lucknow that he was ready for arrest and demanded a CBI inquiry into the entire issue.
Som faces a non-bailable warrant for allegedly posting a fake video online that instigated tension in the state's western region.
He termed the allegations as “completely baseless and far from the truth,” and claimed that the government was getting cases registered against him to appease a particular section of the society.
“I have myself demanded a CBI inquiry into the entire episode and I, along with all the MLAs, am ready for arrest, but the government should act correctly and uphold the truth,” Som, who was in the UP Assembly, told reporters.
“I am being accused of instigating the people by giving inflammatory speech...if that is the case, there would be a CD...they should show it,” Som, an MLA from Sardhana, said.
