New Delhi: A Samajwadi Party leader thought of a unique idea to dodge the police which have imposed prohibitory orders in Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur.

According to news agency ANI, Firoz Khan, party leader from Sambhal, wore a sehra or headdress and disguised himself as a groom to dodge the police. He was on his way to meet senior party leader Azam Khan against whom multiple FIRs have been registered.
