UP: Jailed SP MLA Irfan Solanki accuses cops of treating him like 'animal'
Kanpur (UP), Mar 18: Jailed Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki has accused police personnel of treating him like an "animal", and said he was ready to resign from the assembly instead of facing such misbehaviour.
Solanki, who has been in prison since December 2 last year in connection with several criminal cases, was brought from the Maharajganj jail for production in a court here on Friday.
The MLA, who was allegedly pushed by some police personnel after his appearance in court, shouted before the media that they always push him and treat him like an "animal".
"I am ready to resign but I should not be treated in this manner," he told reporters.
Solanki represents the Sisamau constituency of Kanpur Nagar in the Uttar Pradesh assembly.
During his production in court, his wife Naseem Solanki alleged that the government was troubling her family.
A visibly emotional Naseem Solanki also said that she was not allowing to meet her husband.

NDA's win in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation watershed moment in Kerala politics: PM Modi
New Delhi (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday termed the mandate received by the BJP-led NDA in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation a "watershed moment" in Kerala's politics and expressed gratitude to the BJP workers for the "spectacular results".
The Left parties suffered a major setback in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, held by them for 45 years, as the BJP-led NDA surged ahead with a huge lead.
Reacting to the civic body results, the prime minister said it is a day to recall the work and struggles of generations of karyakartas (workers) in Kerala, who worked at the grassroots, which ensured today's result became a reality.
"Thank you Thiruvananthapuram! The mandate the BJP-NDA got in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation is a watershed moment in Kerala's politics," he wrote on 'X'.
PM Modi said the people are certain that the development aspirations of Kerala can only be addressed by the BJP. "Our Party will work towards this vibrant city's growth and boost 'Ease of Living' for the people," he said with the hashtag #VikasitaThiruvananthapuram.
The prime minister said the BJP karyakartas are the strength of the party, and everyone is proud of them.
"My gratitude to all hardworking BJP karyakartas who have worked among the people, which has ensured a spectacular result in the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation," he said.
