The writ petition, filed through advocate Sumir Sodhi, stated that at the press conference, the petitioner had raised certain social issues such as the government’s neglect and apathy towards a certain section of the society.

Sanjay Singh has said that after the press conference, several FIRs were lodged against him at the behest of BJP members at various police stations in different districts of Uttar Pradesh.

He said that a writ petition has been filed by him to quash the FIR lodged against him. These FIRs were lodged against them maliciously for seeking political vendetta and harassing them.

He said that he is aware of eight FIRs registered in eight districts Lucknow, Santakbirnagar, Kheri, Baghpat, Muzaffarnagar, Basti, and Aligarh.
