Sangeet Som

A court in western Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar has accepted a 2017 closure report filed by a UP Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) team against BJP MLA Sangeet Som, known for making controversial comments, in a case over an inflammatory video uploaded on social media ahead of the 2013 communal riots in the area.

A special court has accepted the closure report filed by an Uttar Pradesh Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) team against BJP MLA Sangeet Som in a case of uploading an inflammatory video on social media ahead of the communal riots here in 2013.

The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to withdraw cases against several BJP leaders filed over the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots, in which more than 60 people lost their lives. The list includes three BJP MLAs -- Sangeet Som, Suresh Rana, and Kapil Dev. Right-wing leader Sadhvi Prachi is also on the list.

Less than a day after the Shiv Sena issued a barbaric call to "cut off" the hands of Sharjeel Imam, the JNU student charged with sedition, BJP MLA Sangeet Som has demanded that people "who talk of breaking India should be shot dead publicly"

The Uttar Pradesh government has sought details of four cases against BJP MLA Sangeet Som, including the one related to a fake video, in which he has already been given a clean chit, a senior Muzaffarnagar district official said on Wednesday.

The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh government has initiated steps that could lead to the withdrawal of court cases against its controversial lawmaker Sangeet Som, related to the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots.

After Allahabad and Faizabad have been renamed by the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government as Prayagraj and Ayodhya respectively, there is a growing clamour to change the names of more cities. BJP lawmaker Jagan Prasad Garg has demanded that Agra be renamed as "Agravan" or "Agrawal".

Unidentified assailants opened fire and threw a hand grenade on BJP lawmaker Sangeet Som's residence in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, in the early hours of Thursday, police said. The Member of Legislative Assembly or MLA is accused of inciting violence and riots in 2013's Muzaffarnagar riots case.

A man in Meerut has alleged that BJP MLA Sangeet Som has duped him of Rs 53 lakh, a charge the lawmaker has denied, saying "it was being done under a conspiracy by some local SP leaders".

Amid the controversy over BJP leader Sangeet Som's remarks on the Taj Mahal, Haryana Minister Anil Vij today described the monument as a "beautiful graveyard".

The Taj Mahal was "built by the blood and sweat of Indians", Yogi Adityanath said today, tackling a controversy over a leader of his party BJP describing the world-renowned monument as a "blot on Indian culture" and a "symbol of slavery... built by traitors".

Before you dismiss the statement on Taj Mahal as a publicity stunt by a divisive leader, beware, the government is testing waters. It is trying to understand, gauge and explore new grounds that can further and fuel its narrative.

Mamata Banerjee may be accused of minority appeasement one once again, but the Bengal Chief Minister could not let this occasion pass.

The world-renowned Taj Mahal has been dragged into a row after it was left out of the Uttar Pradesh tourism booklet recently. Now Sangeet Som, a controversial lawmaker of the ruling BJP, has called it a "blot on Indian culture" and a monument built by "traitors".

BJP lawmaker Sangeet Som's brother, Gagan Som, was detained this morning in Uttar Pardesh's Faridpur for carrying pistol inside a polling booth, a police officer said.
