Rampur District Jail Two days Family Turned Away.

Incident First Nights in Jail Become Restless by Azam Khan

Reference to Bhaskar. Another high profile SP leader Azam Khan spent two nights in Rampur District Jail after the authorities refused to allow his family to carry home blankets and food. The inefficiency of the jail-provided sleeping materials made Azam change his sleeping position several times during the night, according to the officials. This was the case with his son Abdullah Azam.

Father and Son Kept Together in Barrack No. 1.

The jail authorities placed both Azam and Abdullah in Barrack No. 1 since Azam was very old and had health issues. However, the father and the son were said to have had conflicts with the jail staff on basic amenities, namely, the blankets and home cooked meals. Throughout the argument, they even wanted to be transferred to a better facility, yet the jailer denied.

Family Denied Access and Food and Bedding.

On Monday night, the family of Azam came late with blankets, sheets, and home cooked meals but the jail administration refused to accept it. Jail Superintendent Rajesh Yadav said the team was following the jail manual as it does not allow anything outside the jail as a security measure. He underscored that all inmates should use only what they have within the facility until the directives of the court change, which causes frustration among the family and leads to heated arguments.

Both were sentenced to seven years by the court on a fake PAN card case.

In the morning, the MP, MLA court had convicted Azam Khan and Abdullah of seven years in jail in acquiring PAN cards using fraudulent documents. Just after the sentence, they were both taken to Rampur jail, with Azam being spotted with a spectacles case and two biscuit packets. Abdullah was given emotional send-off by his older sibling, Adeeb.

Sleepless Night with the Morning Routine.

According to the sources, Azam and Abdullah had been discussing their legal issues, family, and their way to the unknown political path well late at night. They had slept here and there after midnight, but jail rules brought them vividly to their senses at 6 a.m. Home food was strictly forbidden and they were fed jail-prepared dal, potato-spinach curry, rotis and tea by morning.

More Family Requests Rejected the day after.

On Tuesday afternoon, the family came back with the same demand of more bedding and food, but the jail administration was denied once again. This denial led to a new debate, Azam demanded that he be detained in a B-grade jail, as opposed to A-grade.

Jail Superintendent: “Rules Are All the same”

Jail Superintendent Rajesh Yadav explained that there are no different rules on all prisoners. Nevertheless, due to the age of Azam, law enforcement chose to give him another foam mattress. He even stated that Rampur Jail is a B-grade type and has only the amenities which the classification allows.

History of Fake PAN Card Case.

The case was marked in 2017 when Azam, the Urban Development Minister of Uttar Pradesh, was accused of having been able to obtain a counterfeit birth certificate to Abdullah through political corruption. According to this document Abdullah got a fake PAN card and ended up challenging elections. This ruling is one more in a row of 104 cases that have been brought against Azam Khan where the decision is made in 11 cases. He has been convicted and acquitted in 6 and 5 respectively. He has again been sent back to jail after his bail was posted at 55 days.

What are A-grade and B-grade Jails?

B-grade jails like the Rampur Jail house inmates who do not necessarily need high security and still might be dangerous. Such facilities have moderate restrictions with focus on rehabilitation and restricted movement. Even though they are not as restrictive as A-grade prisons, they have hard and fast security measures and interfere less with the outside world to ensure discipline.
