Wife of Jailed Samajwadi Party MLA Under Legal Scrutiny

An FIR has been registered against Seema Beg, the wife of jailed Samajwadi Party MLA Zahid Beg, for failing to appear in court despite a non-bailable warrant. Her continued absence has led police authorities to initiate action, including the attachment of her property under court orders.

The Uttar Pradesh Police have taken action against Seema Beg, the wife of imprisoned Samajwadi Party MLA Zahid Beg, for evading a court appearance despite having a non-bailable warrant out for her arrest.

This move comes after a directive from the court was issued on Wednesday, officials noted.

Superintendent of Police Meenakshi Katyan confirmed that Seema Beg's continued non-compliance led to the filing of a case against her under BNS section 209 at the Kotwali police station. The case traces back to a prior charge of abetment of suicide against Zahid Beg and his family.
