Sanjeev Balyan

He was part of a mahapanchayat in September 2013 which was held despite prohibitory orders and allegedly inflamed tensions. UP police charged him with violation of prohibitory orders and promoting enmity between two communities. ^[7]

In November 2015 a bailable warrant was issued against Balyan. Balyan was charged with offences under the Indian Penal Code sections 188 (violating prohibitory orders), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharging his duty) and 341 (wrongful restraint). ^[8] In December 2015, Balyan surrendered before a Muzaffarnagar court and obtained bail. Balyan has denied his involvement in the riots and has claimed that he has been booked in a false case and accused of doing things he never did. ^[9]

In May 2019, Balyan became Minister of State for Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries. ^[10]
