UP: Ex-MP, her MLA son booked under Gangster Act

SHAMLI: Former Kairana MP, Tabassum Hasan, 50, and her son Nahid Hasan, 32, the Samajwadi Party MLA from Kairana, have been booked along with 38 others under relevant sections of the Gangster Act by local police in Shamli district. The FIR by Kairana SHO, Premveer Rana, claims the "terror of the gang is prevalent in the region and people do not come forward with complaints due to fear". Tabassum Hasan, meanwhile, said, "This FIR is completely manipulative. They have been at it for more than a year now. They are doing whatever they want to do. Anyone raising concerns of the common man or speaking against the govt policies is being targeted. We will take a legal recourse to fight it."
