Alisha Khan's Civic Poll Victory: A Tale of Resilience and Justice

Alisha Khan, wife of key accused Fahim Khan in the 2025 Nagpur riots case, won civic elections in Nagpur on the AIMIM ticket. Her victory in Ashi Nagar ward signals public faith and a protest against perceived injustices. AIMIM secured six seats in Nagpur, supported by local sympathies.

In a significant political development, Alisha Khan, whose husband Fahim Khan is a central figure in the 2025 Nagpur riots, secured a seat in the civic elections under the AIMIM banner.

Alisha Khan triumphed over Bhagyashree Kanatode of the BJP in ward number 3 of the Ashi Nagar zone, showcasing local faith not just in her, but also indicating a silent protest against the alleged unfair treatment of her husband.

Her husband, Fahim Khan, former chief of the Minority Democratic Party in the city, had previously been entangled in legal battles over the riots, yet people responded to the perceived injustices they faced with support at the polls. This sentiment contributed to AIMIM winning six council seats.
