Azam Khan and son quarantined after medical examination
After the court’s verdict, the police took the father and son into custody and sent them to Rampur District Jail, where after medical examination, they were kept in quarantine in Barrack No. 1.
Azam and Abdullah had appealed to live together
When asked questions by the prosecution lawyer, it was told that an application has been filed on behalf of Azam Khan and his son, in which a request has been made to keep both of them together inside the district jail. This application is to be heard today. Now it remains to be seen what decision the court gives.
What is duplicate PAN card issue?
This case related to Azam Khan and Abdullah Azam is of the year 2016. Actually, Abdullah Azam had to file nomination from Swar seat for the UP Assembly elections 2017, but the date of birth written on his PAN card was 1 January 1993. According to this, Abdullah was only 24 years old, whereas according to the rules, to become an MLA, it is necessary for a candidate to complete 25 years of age.
The allegation was that Azam Khan made another fake PAN card for his son, in which the date of birth of Abdullah Azam was written as 30 September 1990. This fake PAN card was used in the bank passbook and nomination form. The court found both Azam and his son guilty in this case and sentenced them to 7 years each.
