RAMPUR: Samajwadi Party MP Azam Khan’s wife Tazeen Fatma, who is also an SP MLA, has been released from Sitapur jail after getting bail from the court in a forgery case.
The 71-year-old was on Friday granted bail by a court in a case of alleged forgery of documents to capture a piece of land falling under the Enemy Property Act. The court has granted bail to Tazeen Fatma in all the 34 cases registered against her.
Fatma, who walked out of jail late on Monday night, said that she had been a professor in a government college and suddenly she was branded a criminal.
“It is because of the judiciary that I am free today. I did not get any special facility in jail,” she said.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday termed the release of party MLA Tazeen Fatma from jail as a "victory of those who rely on justice".
"The bail of Rampur MP Azam Khan's wife Tazeen Fatma has proved that those who practice politics of hatred face defeat in front of the truth. The path of lies on which the BJP is moving leads to injustice and downfall. This is victory of those who rely on justice," Yadav said in a tweet
Her husband Azam Khan and son Abdullah Azam continue to remain in jail. The Khan family has spent ten months in jail. They had surrendered on February 26 this year.
Azam Khan, who faces more than 100 cases, will remain in jail till he gets bail in all the cases.
