Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij had earlier said in the State Assembly that Congress was responsible for the riots in Nuh and there was evidence against its MLA Mamman Khan for his involvement.
Mr. Khan’s arrest came two days after Bajrang Dal member and self-styled cow vigilante, Mohit alias Monu Manesar, was arrested on Tuesday for alleged provocative posts on social media before the Jalabhishek Yatra on August 28.
The Haryana government counsel had on Thursday, September 14, 2023, told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that Mamman Khan was nominated as accused in one of the First Information Reports registered in connection with the communal violence. The revelation was made during a hearing on Mr. Khan’s petition seeking protection from any coercive action against him. Fearing arrest in the case, Mr. Khan, in the petition before the court, had sought directions to the Haryana government to set up a high-level Special Investigation Team comprising officers not below the rank of Inspector General of Police.
Mamman Khan was twice summoned by the Nuh Police to join the investigation into the riots, but he did not turn up for the questioning.
