KANPUR: An MP-MLA court in Kanpur Monday held SP MLA Irfan Solanki, his brother Rizwan Solanki and three others guilty in the 2022 Jajmau arson case. The verdict was reserved for months.
Judge Satyendra Tripathi held the accused guilty of arson, voluntarily causing hurt and insulting someone intentionally to provoke them. The sentence will be given on June 7.
Irfan (44), a four-time MLA from Sisamau in Kanpur, is lodged in Maharajganj district jail. The SP legislator, against whom 17 cases are registered, was deprived of voting in recently held RS polls as the court rejected his plea to cast his vote.
Irfan and Rizwan were arrested in Dec 2022 for harassing a woman and setting her house on fire to grab her plot.
