Rampur: Once upon a time, Rampur was known because of the Nawab family, but with time, the veteran leader of the Samajwadi Party, Mohammad Azam Khan, became the identity of this district. When there was a Samajwadi Party government in the state, Azam Khan’s tuti used to speak in Rampur. Azam Khan is also known for his bigotry. He has made such statements on many occasions in the past, which became media headlines.

For example, spending crores to make Mulayam’s 75th birthday grand and when asked by journalists, Azam Khan says that he got this money from Dawood Ibrahim. Similarly, during the campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Mohammad Azam Khan had asked the collector of the district to clean his shoes without naming him. That IAS was none other than Anjaneya Kumar Singh, currently the Commissioner of Moradabad Division.
Azam had threatened to get his shoes cleaned after the elections.
Anjaneya Kumar Singh was then honestly performing his duty to conduct fair elections in Rampur. He was strictly following the model code of conduct in his district. Azam Khan’s supporters had to face the strictness of Anjaneya Kumar Singh on several occasions. Annoyed by this, Azam Khan had said, “Don’t be afraid of collector and collector, they are salary earners.” If Allah wills, I will get my shoes cleaned by them after the elections.
Time has taken such a turn that today Azam Khan, his family and supporters fear the name of the same IAS Anjaneya Kumar Singh. Because of this officer, SP MP from Rampur, Azam Khan is in jail for almost 23 months. The legislature of his son Abdullah Azam went away. Wife Dr. Tajin Fatima also had to go to jail. After coming to the government of Yogi Adityanath in UP, on February 19, 2019, Anjaneya Kumar Singh was made the collector of Rampur in view of his hard work and strict attitude.
How did an IAS destroy Azam Khan’s empire in Rampur?
An officer sitting on the chair of DM of Rampur was fearlessly taking action on the complaints coming against Azam. When 27 farmers came to DM Anjaneya Kumar Singh complaining that Azam Khan had forcibly encroached upon their lands for Jauhar University, he got the SDM to investigate the matter and if the complaints were found to be correct, he ordered FIRs to be registered in all the cases. ordered.
Azam Khan’s dominance in Rampur was such that before Anjaneya Singh, no other officer could muster the courage to take action against him. When the people of Rampur felt that an honest District Magistrate had come to take cognizance of their complaints, then complaints against Azam Khan started piling up. Cases were registered against Azam Khan one after the other and their number crossed 98.
Government land freed from the possession of
Johar University The result of the fearless action of Anjaneya Kumar Singh was that 172 acres of government land imprisoned in the boundary wall of Azam Khan’s dream project Johar University was snatched from his possession. In the matter of grabbing government land, the then Rampur DM registered Azam Khan’s name on the state government’s anti-land mafia portal and declared him a land mafia. This IAS officer wielded the whip of the law in such a way that the legislature of Azam’s son Abdullah was snatched away.
Abdullah Azam Khan was elected MLA on SP ticket from Swar Tanda seat of Rampur in the 2017 UP assembly elections. Nawab Kazim Ali Khan, who contested from BSP in front of Abdullah, had complained to the Election Commission of India that Abdullah was not 25 years old at the time of nomination. He had shown his age as 25 years by affixing a fake birth certificate and enrolled. That’s why his election should be cancelled. The Election Commission asked the then Rampur DM Anjaneya Kumar Singh to investigate in this matter.
This IAS officer got canceled
In the legislative investigation of Abdullah Azam, it was revealed that Abdullah Azam Khan had contested the election on a fake age certificate and he was not 25 years old at the time of nomination. The DM sent this report to the Election Commission. Taking action, the Election Commission canceled the legislature of Abdullah Azam. In the investigation, the matter of Abdullah Azam having 2 PAN cards and 2 passports also came to the fore. DM Anjaneya Kumar Singh ordered to file a case in this case also. In this case, the Rampur CJM court had sent Azam Khan, his wife Tajin Fatima and son Abdullah Azam to jail. Tanzin and Abdullah are out on bail, but Azam Khan is lodged in Sitapur Jail for 23 months.
The fear of Anjaneya Kumar Singh is haunting Azam Khan’s camp,
therefore Azam Khan and his supporters do not want Anjaneya Kumar Singh to remain the commissioner of Moradabad at the time of UP assembly elections 2022. On the other hand, the Election Commission of India has praised the working method of Anjaneya Kumar Singh. In the meeting of officers held in Lucknow in the past, the Election Commission praised the administrative arrangements made in Rampur for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Instructed the rest of the officers to make similar arrangements for fair, fearless and peaceful elections. Let us tell you again that during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Anjaneya Kumar Singh was the District Magistrate of Rampur.
When transferred from Rampur, people sent him off in a wagon.
