New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Thursday asked Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan to file an affidavit mentioning apology for his alleged remark in Bulandshahr gang-rape case. Next hearing will take place on December 7.
Azam Khan had allegedly termed the gang-rape of a woman and her daughter a ‘political conspiracy’. His remark was examined by the Supreme Court.
A family from Noida was stopped on the highway near Bulandshahr by an armed gang on July 29. The woman and her 14-year-old daughter were dragged to fields and were raped.
The teenager had moved the Supreme Court requesting a police complaint against Azam Khan for his comment.
Khan had said: "We need to investigate whether this is a conspiracy by opponents who want to defame the government."
