Earlier, on Tuesday, Mumbai's session court granted anticipatory bail to Abu Azmi on a solvent surety bond of Rs 20,000 in connection with his alleged controversial statement about Aurangzeb made in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly

Samajwadi Party (SP) legislator Abu Asim Azmi appeared before Mumbai Police on Wednesday regarding his controversial statement on Aurangzeb, news agency ANI reported.

Before meeting the investigation officer, Azmi said, "I am going to Marine Drive Police Station. The court has asked me to go to the police station and sign before the police there for three days."

After he met the investigation officer, the Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) spoke to reporters, and said, "There is no need to record a statement; there is no case. An FIR had been registered against me. I took anticipatory bail. I got the bail, and I need to come and put my signature for three days."

"If I'm being accused without doing anything wrong, then yes, I'm afraid of that. They suspended me from the entire session. People are calling me a terrorist, but which terror have I spread? This is meaningless. The government might do whatever it likes, but I will continue my work," Azmi said.

The Mumbai session court had ordered Azmi to appear before the officer for investigation in the case of his controversial statement on Aurangzeb.
