Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Nahid Hasan's troubles started earlier in September when he had a spat with Kairana Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Amit Pal Sharma over a traffic violation.
Hasan was allegedly driving an SUV without valid papers and misbehaved with the government servant. After a video of the incident went viral, the Uttar Pradesh (UP) police booked Hasan for misbehaving with a government official on duty.
The police lodged 12 criminal cases against him. While four of these were new, the rest were old cases, against Hasan related to organising protests and inciting riots, which were reopened. Hasan is facing arrest after the police secured warrants against him in four such cases.
Raids and searches have been conducted at his Kairana and Delhi residences of Hasan, but the lawmaker continues to evade arrest. The MLA has reportedly gone underground and has been declared an 'absconder'.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Shamli, Ajay Kumar said, "We have four warrants against Nahid Hasan. We will attach his property by 20 October, if he does not surrender or is not arrested."
