Abdullah Azam, son of senior Samajwadi Party (SP) MP, Mohd Azam Khan, has been released on bail from the Sitapur jail after almost 23 months of imprisonment. He was released on Saturday evening. Abdullah said that he would definitely contest the upcoming Assembly elections from the Suar Assembly segment and seek people's blessings.

Waving to his supporters waiting outside the gates of Sitapur jail, Abdullah Azam said, "I will only say one thing that oppression will end after March 10 and the oppressor will also be removed from the throne." Abdullah, Azam Khan's younger son, was booked in 43 cases, ranging from theft to extortion and forgery, along with his father. Abdullah has been granted bail in all of these cases by the lower courts in Rampur.
