In a significant development, Samajwadi Party MP Zia ur Rahman Barq appeared at the Sambhal police station on Tuesday, engaging with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) concerning the ongoing Sambhal violence case. Upon receiving a BNSS 35(3) notice, Barq affirmed his commitment to legal protocols and expressed confidence in the judicial system during interactions with ANI.

According to Barq, despite his doctor's advice to rest, he attended the inquiry to ensure cooperation with the authorities. 'I have faith in the judicial system. My presence here is to support the investigation thoroughly,' Barq conveyed, reflecting his proactive stance in clearing the air regarding any perceived lack of cooperation.

The police's handling of the case saw formal notices being issued to Barq at his parliamentary lodging in New Delhi, a move marking a critical step by the Uttar Pradesh SIT. As investigations into the violence from November last year continue, Barq's assurance of full cooperation underscores a pivotal moment in aligning political leadership with investigative transparency.
