Lucknow, Jan 8: After the arrest of the Samajwadi Party worker Manish Jagan Agarwal on Sunday, party chief Akhilesh Yadav reached the police headquarters in Lucknow to protest against the Luckow police.
He was seen engaged in a verbal spat with the cops where he refused to have tea offered by police, saying he did not trust the police and feared they would poison him.
“I will not drink the tea, either I’ll bring from the outside or my own, what if it’s poisoned, I don’t trust you,” said Akhilesh Yadav.
