Later in the evening, high drama unfolded in front of Uttar Pradesh Assembly with BJP leaders and workers, led by Uma Bharati, stalling the possible arrest of BJP MLA Sangeet Som, against whom an arrest warrant has been issued for his alleged role in inciting Muzaffarnagar riots.
The BJP workers escorted the legislator to the party's state office.A large number of police was deployed in front of the Vidhan Sabha gate giving hint that Som could be arrested, sources said.
Taking the hint, a large number of BJP workers and leaders assembled at the gate and stalled the process escorting Som safely to the party office which is opposite to the Assembly. Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari, who was detained here to prevent him from visiting riot-hit Muzaffarnagar, said Mulayam Singh Yadav should sack UP Minister Azam Khan from Samajwadi Party as he had "nothing to do with the people."
