Bulandshahr gang-rape case: Supreme Court asks Azam Khan to apologise for his controversial remarks

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."
