“The police first resorted to extortion and then registered a false case against me to snatch away my MP chair. This is unprecedented,” Khan said.

Khan is a three-time Lok Sabha member from Bishnupur. He first won the election in 2014 on a Trinamool Congress ticket before joining the BJP and retaining the seat in 2019 and 2024.
