On friday, two policemen’s video from Delhi’s Prem Nagar police station had widely been distributed on social media. Those policemen were telling,“There will be no Azaan. This is the order from the LG.”

On April 24, Delhi deputy chief Minister Manish Sisodia declared that no ban order on Aazan was given. Delhi Police PRO, Anil Mittal, also said,”I shall investigate about the case.”

Now, in UP case, no such clarification yet from the authorities over the alleged Azan ban order rumor. (source:http://www.tdnworld.com/news/india/after-delhi-speculation-over-aazan-ban-in-up-azaan-band-nahi-hogi-trends-on-twitter/)
