Lucknow, Jan 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday refused to drink tea offered to him by the police officers at the DGP headquarters.
He asked his party worker to get tea from outside for him.
"You never know, they may mix poison in my tea. I will drink my own tea and you people (cops) can drink your tea," he said.

He was accompanied by party workers who staged a protest against the arrest at the DGP headquarters.

"Arrest of Samajwadi Party worker, Manish Jagan Agarwal, by Lucknow Police is condemnable and shameful! Police should release him immediately," said the SP on Twitter.
