The Rampur police have, till now, lodged 84 cases against Azam Khan, including the 29 on which the stay order was given.

He has been booked in cases of book theft, statue theft, buffalo and goat theft, encroachment and land grabbing.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has also accused Azam Khan of encroaching the flood plain of river Kosi for the Jauhar University.IANS
