A Muslim woman in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh was allegedly asked to move out of the house by her landlord after she joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday.

The woman has been identified as Gulistana. She claimed that her landlord also misbehaved with her before asking to vacate the place.

She said, "I joined BJP yesterday. When my landlord came to know of it she misbehaved with me and asked me to vacate immediately."

Aligarh's Senior Superintendent of Police Akash Kulhary said that a case has been registered in the matter.

He said, "Prima facie it appears that the mother of landlord had demanded Rs 4,000 from Gulistana for an electricity bill, following which they had an argument over Gulistana joining a political party. Case registered under relevant sections."
