Bharataiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Suresh Rana arrested for inciting violence in riots-hit Muzaffarnagar district. The police had obtained the arrest warrants against 4 MLAs Bhatendu Singh, Hukum Singh, Sangeet Singh Som and Suresh Rana couple of days ahead. The arrest was made from Samta Mulak Samaj Chowk at Lucknow's posh Gomtinagar area. Earlier, the Muzaffarnagar police have said that the arrest of BJP and BSP MLAs accused of inciting violence in the district will be made after the state Assembly's monsoon session gets over on Friday.
A police team from Muzaffarnagar had visited Lucknow on Wednesday following information that BJP MLAs Hukum Singh, Sangeet Singh Som and Suresh Rana were present in state capital. Rana has been accused of giving hate speech which escalated tensions in the Muzaffarnagar district which eventually broke violence and left behind 47 people dead.
