The Kairana MLA claimed the remark was “wrong and baseless as there had been no chargesheet filed in court against him in connection with the riots case so far”.
Singh, MLA from Kairana, will be contesting for the Lok Sabha elections from the same constituency on BJP ticket.
He was among the 16 politicians and community leaders who were accused of inciting violence through inflammatory speeches in Muzaffarnagar and had been briefly under arrest.
More than 60 persons were killed and over 40,000 displaced in riots that had taken place in Muzaffarnagar and adjoining areas in September last year.
