Muzaffarnagar riots cases against innocent to be withdrawn
Cases against "innocent people" in connection with the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots would be withdrawn by the Uttar Pradesh government after an enquiry, state minister Suresh Rana has said. Notably, Rana himself had been arrested for allegedly making provocative speeches during the riots and had been booked under the National Security Act. At least 62 people were killed during the riots.
