Azam Khan's remarks came as he accused the UP police of taking people to police stations of beating them ahead of the bypolls in the state.
Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan has alleged that the Uttar Pradesh Police "wreaked havoc" on the eve of the Lok Sabha bypolls in Azamgarh and Rampur parliamentary seats on Thursday.
According to Mr Khan, the UP police also behaved "indecently" with the SP Lok Sabha candidate in Rampur on the eve of the Lok Sabha bypolls.
"I have been up all night. Our Lok Sabha candidate went to Ganj police station, Kotwali police station, and Civil Lines police station (in Rampur). The most indecent behaviour was by the inspector at Ganj police station. He was violent. The blame is on the administration if polling percentage drops," said Mr Khan.
"If polling percentage drops, the blame is also on the government. They wreaked havoc overnight. Jeeps and sirens were everywhere in the city (Rampur); they took people to the police station and beat them up. I've also heard of some money transfers as well. It's shameful," he added.
