00:00 Congress MLA Mamman Khan was arrested early Friday by Haryana Police, a day after the
00:06 state government told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that it had nominated him as an
00:10 accused in an FIR in a case pertaining to the Nu violence, which took place on July
00:14 31.
00:15 Six persons were killed in the violence that later spread to parts of South Haryana.
00:20 Superintendent of Police Nu Narendra Bijanya confirmed the arrest.
00:25 Mr. Khan will be produced in the court during the day.
00:27 The police shall be seeking his custody from the court for thorough investigation.
00:31 The MLA from Ferozepur Jharkha had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday
00:35 seeking protection from arrest and the hearing was scheduled for October 19.
00:40 Mamman alleged that he was being falsely implicated in the case as he was not even present in
00:44 Nu on the day the violence broke out.
00:46 Nu witnessed heavy police deployment on Friday with Section 144 of the CRPC imposed across
00:51 the district.
00:52 Along with additional police personnel from neighbouring districts, RAF has also been
00:56 deployed in Nu.
00:58 Haryana had informed the court on Thursday that an FIR No. 149, dated August 1, 2023,
01:03 registered under Sections 148, 149, 153A, 379A, 436, 506 of Indian Penal Code, 1860
01:11 at Police Station Nagina, District Nu, Haryana.
01:13 There are 52 accused persons, out of which 42 persons have been arrested.
01:18 One Taufiq, who is also an accused in the FIR, was arrested on August 9 and Taufiq
01:22 named Mamman Khan as one of the accused in this case.
01:26 The state government then said that after due investigation, call details from the mobile
01:29 phones and tower location of Taufiq and Khan were examined.
01:32 It was found that calls were exchanged on July 29 and 30, one day before July 31, when
01:38 the Nu violence took place.
01:40 As per the tower location, Mamman Khan was within an area of 1.5 km from the place of
01:45 Akhran on July 29 and 30 and thus the evidence to the effect that he was not close to the
01:51 place of Akhran in the petition is not correct, the government informed the court.
01:55 It further informed that the statements of Khan's security officers, i.e. Constable
01:59 Jayaprakash and Constable Pradeep, had also been recorded under Section 161, Criminal
02:03 Procedure Code and they had confirmed the fact with respect to the presence of Mamman
02:07 Khan being within a range of 1.5 km from the place of Akhran on July 29 and 30.
02:13 Haryana's council added that notice for questioning was issued to Mamman Khan on August 25 and
02:18 he replied on August 31, stating that he was not feeling well and sought 10 days' time
02:23 to join the investigation.
02:24 However, he did not end up doing so and hence after considering the entire material, Khan
02:28 was nominated as an accused in the present FIR by the head of Special Investigation Team
02:32 on September 4, 2023.
02:35 On July 31, a VHP-like procession was attacked by mobs in Nu, leading to deadly clashes.
02:40 It resulted in 6 deaths and injured many.
02:42 The case is still pending.
