Jagran correspondent, Ghaziabad. Nagina MP and Azad Samaj Party chief Chandrashekhar Azad, who was going from Delhi to Meerut, has been stopped by Ghaziabad Police on NH 9. To prevent people from going to Meerut, the police have closed the Delhi-bound lane on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway in front of Vedanta Farm House. All the traffic of DME and NH-9 is being sent towards Hapur. This has caused jam on NH-9 and DME.

The case is of murder of a Dalit woman and kidnapping of her daughter in Meerut. Chandrashekhar was going to Meerut to meet the victim's family. Earlier, there was an altercation between Chandrashekhar Azad and the police who reached UP Gate.
