Congress MLA Mamman Khan, arrested in connection with Nuh violence, sent to two-day police remand

Chandigarh, September 14

Haryana Congress MLA Mamman Khan, who was arrested in connection with the Nuh violence late last night, has been sent to two-day police remand. The Congress MLA was produced in a Nuh court on Friday.

Earlier, Section 144 was imposed in Nuh and police presence had been stepped up.

The Haryana government also ordered the suspension of mobile Internet and bulk SMS services in the district for two days to prevent “the spread of misinformation and rumours”.

Sources in district administration said the Friday namaz would not be allowed in the open.

The Haryana police had arrested Mamman Khan in connection with the communal clashes during a ‘shobha yatra’ in Nuh district on July 31. The MLA, representing the Ferozepur Jhirka segment, who was earlier rounded up, was arrested after preliminary questioning.

The MLA had failed to appear before the Nuh police twice in the last fortnight despite a notice being sent to him, asking to join the investigation.
