GHAZIABAD: Allegations of a fourth marriage and possession of property by 70-year-old former councillor and SP leader Haji Khalil in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, have stirred political and social circles. The matter came to the fore when his divorced second wife complained to police officials and levelled serious allegations. However, the police investigation did not corroborate these allegations and the entire matter was found to be related to a family property dispute.
