The Muzaffarnagar police had filed a case against Amit Shah and the Election Commission banned him from holding rallies and delivering speeches.
BJP chief Amit Shah has got a clean chit from the Uttar Pradesh police in a case involving alleged hate speech delivered during the Lok Sabha poll campaign in the state. The police said no evidence has been found against him.
The report will be placed before a court, which will take the final decision.
In April 2014, Mr Shah allegedly told a crowd at a village in Muzaffarnagar that "If (Narendra) Modi wins, 'Mullah' Mulayam's government will fall".
At the time, he was in charge of the BJP election campaign in Uttar Pradesh.
In view of the riots in Muzaffarnagar, which took place some months before, BJP's political rivals accused Mr Shah of using communal tension in the state to gain electoral advantage.
The party's local unit leaders, too, were accused of trying to polarise voters on communal lines.
The Muzaffarnagar police filed a case against him and the Election Commission banned him from holding rallies and delivering speeches. The ban was lifted after Mr Shah vowed in writing not to use abusive or derogatory language.
In the elections that followed, the BJP won 72 of the state's 80 Lok Sabha seats.
