Four old cases against SP MLA Irfan Solanki to be reinvestigated

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up to investigate old cases against Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Irfan Solanki, has flagged four of the 13 complaints received by the police as ‘serious’ after a preliminary investigation. The complainants have given concrete evidence to support the charges against the MLA to the police.

The police will first investigate these four complaints. If charges are found to be true, cases will be registered against the MLA.

These complaints are allegations of fraudulently taking money and threatening by misusing the position to pressurize for returning, fraudulently extorting money in the purchase of land, and demanding extortion. However, the identity of the complainants has not been divulged by the police.

Irfan and his brother Rizwan Solanki were sent to jail in connection with a case of arson last week. Irfan and his brother Rizwan, after remaining elusive for 24 days in the arson case, had surrendered before the commissioner of police B P Jogdand on Friday morning after a case was registered at the Jajmau police station.

SIT sources said joint commissioner of police Anand Prakash Tiwari held a meeting with the SIT and the scrutiny of the allegations in all the 13 complaints was done minutely. After the initial investigation, SIT has decided to investigate four out of 13 complaints considering them to be serious in nature.
