BSP leader Kazim Ali Khan has accused SP leader Azam Khan of stealing two large statues of lions from the Rampur Club.
Kazim - whose grandfather had constructed the club in his princely estate, alleged that Azam got the statues installed at his Jauhar University.
Kazim, the titular nawab of Rampur who has been a member of the UP legislative assembly for four consecutive terms, said he had filed a complaint with the police in this regard.
SP Rampur Vipin Tada said a probe has been launched into the matter under a senior police officer.
Azam tried to duck a query on the issue, saying "he had removed dogs and not lions".
