Congress MLA Mamman Khan was arrested on September 15, 2023 in connection with the July 31 Nuh violence case. He was arrested by the Nuh Police early in the morning, a day after the state government told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that it would arrest him if there was sufficient evidence against him.
Khan is accused of instigating the violence in Nuh, which took place after a religious procession was taken through a Muslim-dominated area. The violence resulted in the death of two people and injuries to several others.
Khan has denied all allegations against him and has said that he is the victim of a political vendetta. He has also accused the Haryana government of targeting him because he is a Muslim.
The arrest of Khan has sparked protests from Congress workers in Haryana. The party has accused the BJP-led state government of misusing the police to target its political opponents.
The arrest of Khan is a significant development in the Nuh violence case. It is the first arrest of a high-profile politician in connection with the case. The arrest is likely to increase pressure on the Haryana government to take action against all those involved in the violence.
