Ali is the prime accused, along with 150 others, for allegedly pelting stones at Madhya Pradesh’s Chhatarpur police station.
The demolishing of Ali’s house under the administration of Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has violated his oath where he swore allegiance to the Constitution of India, said Azad on an X post.
