LUCKNOW: Lucknow and Pratapgarh police on Tuesday arrested six people, including AIMIM leaders Aziz-ur-Rehman and Israr Ahmad, for trying to disturb communal harmony and violating prohibitory orders.
In Lucknow, cops arrested district general secretary of All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) Aziz-ur-Rehman for holding protest in Chowk on December 13 without prior permission of the district administration.
Additional superintendent of police (Lucknow West) Vikas Chandra Tripathi told TOI, “Rehman was arrested for taking out a procession near KGMU crossing without informing district authorities. He was also seen inciting students of Nadwa seminary to protest against the government. At his insistence, students blocked roads hindering passage of ambulances.” “Rehman has been booked under charges of rioting, disrupting peace and disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant. Initially, we had also charged him with sedition but revoked it later,” he added.
Meanwhile, Lucknow police on Tuesday said any protest organized on December 18 and 19 without prior permission of the district administration would be illegal and those violating the order would be charged with criminal conspiracy.
In Pratapgarh, AIMIM leader Israr Ahmad and four other party activists were arrested for violating prohibitory orders by holding a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on the district court premises.
Besides Ahmad, other arrested persons were identified as Raqib Khan, Saleem Ahmad, Saqib Ahmad and Sujat Ullah.
