The police arrested Samajwadi Party worker Shahid Azmi
on Thursday afternoon for rioting. Abhay Solutkar, site
manager of the Deewan Group of builders and developers
has registered a case against Azmi and a dozen others
at the Bandra Kurla Complex police station on December
11. The accused include Rajya Sabha MP Abu Asim Azmi
and his brother, Kasim Azmi.
The police version is that Samajwadi Party workers
tried putting up a board at a construction site being
developed by Deewan Group. It read: 'Developers —
Abu Azmi commercial centre'. "When workers employed
by the Deewan Group tried to stop the Samajwadi men,
Shahid and others attacked them.
The construction site at Mohammedi Estate, Motilal
Nagar, Santacruz (East} belongs to the MMRDA.
Abu Azmi, however, denied that his party workers had
tried to grab the land. He claims that"The place
belongs to Arora Builders, and we were given authorization
by them to develop the land."
