Mamman Khan, a Congress MLA from Haryana, will be brought before the district court in Nuh on Friday in connection with the violence that occurred there on July 31. There is increased security in place outside the court. According to Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Mamta Singh, Khan was detained by Haryana police in the early hours of Friday, one day after the state government informed the Punjab and Haryana High Court that it had named him as an accused in an FIR in a case involving the Nuh violence.
Khan, who was arrested by a special investigative team (SIT) of the Haryana police, will be produced in a local district court in Nuh today.
Security arrangements have also been increased at Palwal T point with people not allowed entry on the road leading to the court premises.
Violence broke out in Nuh during a procession by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad on July 31 this year. Six people were killed and a cleric died in an attack on a mosque in adjoining Gurugram.
The Ferozepur Jhirka MLA had moved the court on September 12, seeking protection from arrest while claiming that he was being framed in the case when he was not present in Nuh the day the violence broke out.
