In addition to Irfan Solanki, his brother Rizwan Solanki has also filed an appeal in the same court. Both brothers seek to overturn the sentence and request bail.
The Kanpur MP-MLA court sentenced Irfan and Rizwan Solanki on June 7, 2024, for their role in the arson incident that occurred on November 7, 2022. The case pertains to the destruction of the home of Nazir Fatima, a resident of the Jajmau police station area in Kanpur.
Irfan Solanki, elected on a Samajwadi Party ticket, remains a significant figure in local politics as he continues to seek redress through the judicial system.
