The matter pertains to the issuance of Abdullah Azam Khan's birth certificate twice.
 
The case, initiated by BJP MLA Akash Saxena on January 3, 2019, alleges that Azam Khan produced two birth certificates for his son with different dates of birth, one from Rampur Municipality and the other from Lucknow.
 
A first birth certificate, issued on June 28, 2012, by Rampur Nagar Palika, showed Rampur as Abdullah Azam Khan's birthplace. In January 2015, a second birth certificate issued showed Lucknow as his birthplace.
 
 
Notably, Abdullah Azam Khan is accused of obtaining a passport and foreign tours based on a first birth certificate and using a second certificate for government-related purposes. Both the certificates were issued through fraudulent means and as part of a pre-planned conspiracy.
