9-year-old ‘Akhilesh fan’ takes poison over SP feud

January 05, 2017 01:05 am | Updated 01:05 am IST - New Delhi:

The nine-year-old son of an aspiring film producer, who was in the process of producing a film on Akhilesh Yadav, allegedly consumed poison here on Wednesday as he was apparently upset over the recent developments in the Samajwadi Party.

Out of danger

The incident occurred in southeast Delhi's Jamia Nagar area following which the boy was rushed to a hospital where he was stated to be out of danger. Muneer, a class IV student and a resident of Shaheen Bagh, was apparently a fan of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and his policies, his father Azhar Dilshad Khan said.

Describing Muneer as a “brilliant” student, he said while children of his age usually spent time playing, he used to discuss the political scenario of Uttar Pradesh with his mother. Khan added that he was producing a film on Akhilesh and had stalled the project after the family feud in the SP surfaced. PTI
