His release comes following a court-granted bail, marking a significant political development in Uttar Pradesh’s power corridors. Moments before his anticipated exit, heavy security deployment was witnessed outside Sitapur Jail, where a large number of Khan’s supporters had gathered to celebrate.Police, however, adopted a strict stance, dispersing crowds and removing vehicles parked illegally near the prison. Several cars belonging to Khan’s supporters were fined under the “No Parking” rule, reflecting the administration’s intent to avoid any law-and-order situation.Azam Khan’s release is expected to spark new political equations, with speculation mounting about his next move. Supporters outside the jail expressed joy, stating they would celebrate his freedom like a festival, equating it with “Eid” and “Holi.”Khan was lodged in Sitapur Jail since October 2023 in connection with multiple cases. His re-entry into active politics after two years could reshape dynamics within the Samajwadi Party and the opposition bloc.
