MUZAFFARNAGAR/LUCKNOW: A local court on Wednesday issued arrest warrants against a BSP MP, BJP and BSP MLAs, besides several politicians and senior community leaders for allegedly inciting violence through inflammatory speeches here even as some of the accused politicians denied any role in instigating violence.


The arrest warrants have been issued against 16 politicians and community leaders including BSP MP Qadir Rana, BJP MLAs Sangeet Som and Bhartendu Singh, BSP MLAs Noor Saleem and Maulana Jameel, Congress leader Saeeduzaman and BKU chief Naresh Tikait, police said.

At least two of the accused leaders appeared on television channels on Wednesday and denied any role in inciting violence.

BSP MLA Noor Saleem Rana denied that he instigated the mob and said he is ready to face investigations.

"I am ready to go to jail if I am proved guilty after probe," he told in an interview to Times Now.

Another accused MLA from the BJP Sangeet Som also denied the charges levelled by the cops.

"I was not hiding, I was in my constituency," Som said in an interview.

Police have said action will be taken against guilty politicians after the probe is over.
