Muzaffarnagar riots: Warrants against politicians, still no arrests

Muzaffarnagar: A court has issued warrants against nine politicians accused of inciting communal clashes in Muzzafarnagar, where nearly 50 people were killed and 40,000 forced into refugee camps earlier this month. At least five of those leaders attended the UP assembly today. Among them was BJP MLA Sangeet Som, who has been charged with circulating a fake video online that fueled the riots. He allegedly said it showed the lynching of two Hindu boys in the region, though the video was two years old and from Pakistan. Those who could now be arrested also include: Kadir Rana, Jameel Ahmed and Noor Salim Rana of the BSP, Saedduzzaman of the Congress and Bhartendu Singh of the BJP. "We are going to act against all the politicians who have been charged. We have enough evidence," said Praveen Kumar, the Senior Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarnagar.
