Controversy
On 7 January 2017, a criminal case was filed against Ghazi for threatening to send a Dhampur tehsildar to prison once the BSP assumed power after the upcoming Assembly elections.[5] The tehsildar was removing political billboards in Sherkot when Ghazi made the threat while he and his supporters were attempting to prevent the tehsildar from removing the billboards. However, Ghazi claimed that the police were trying to file a false case against him on behalf of the ruling Samajwadi Party.
In April 2025, he was arrested by the Muzaffarnagar Police for supplying a mobile phone to his relative, who is lodged in a Muzaffarnagar jail.[6]
