Nuh Chief Judicial Magistrate Court on Tuesday sent Congress Member of Legislative Assembly Mamman Khan to 14 days’ judicial custody in connection with the Nuh violence case.
Earlier, Nuh district court on Sunday sent Congress MLA to a further two days of police remand after completion of the previous two-day remand.
Mamman Khan’s lawyer Tahir Hussain Devla said, “Mamman Khan was presented in the court after 2 days of police remand. Police presented Mamman Khan in four cases. Three more new cases have been imposed on Mamman Khan. In all four new cases, 149,137,148,150 have been imposed on him. He has been produced today in case number 149 after two days of remand. In case number 137, the police had sought a remand of five days, on which the court has given a remand of 2 days to the police.”
Mamman Khan’s lawyer said that Mamman Khan is being implicated in this whole matter under a political conspiracy and Mamman Khan has nothing to do with this whole matter.
MLA Mamman Khan – who was arrested in connection with the recent communal clashes in Nuh and adjoining areas of the state on September 15, was sent to a two-day police remand by the district court. Khan was reported to have been arrested from the house of one of his relatives on the Jaipur-Ajmer road and was brought to Nuh on Friday.
Khan, who was arrested by a special investigation team of the Haryana police was produced in a local district court in Nuh later on September 15. The police then sought his custody from the court for interrogation.
Khan was arrested by Haryana police in the early hours of Friday, a day after the state government told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that it had named him as an accused in an FIR in a case pertaining to the Nuh violence. Khan was arrested by a special investigation team (SIT) of the Haryana police.
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 since he was not present in Nuh the day the violence broke out.

Satya Veer Singh, who was was part of a fact-finding team which visited Nuh post-July 31 violence, says the recent anti-minority aggression in Haryana had been in the making for some time. His views:
My first reaction after witnessing the violence at Nuh and Gurgaon was that the efforts put by the fascist brigade to flare up communal violence since they came to power in the state, have ultimately bore fruit. No one could, in fact, fail to notice that this was going to happen. It was shocking but not surprising at all.
The violence at Nuh reveals the pattern of stoking violence to further their sinister agenda. No one can fail to notice the obvious State support or connivance.
Spot a place where the minority Muslim community is in majority as a potential target that can be attacked to polarize the society on communal lines. Build a false narrative that this is a crime hub, having connections with ISI, Pakistan. Unleash high-decibel false propaganda, using the sold-out section of the media to force the falsehood into mass conscience, exactly as Goebbels did in Nazi Germany. Choose a Hindu festival and let loose the pampered goons, disguising as cow vigilantes like Monu Manesar or Bittu Bajrangi, to carry on relentless provocation, until the minority community runs out of patience.
Then enters the most dreaded arm of State terror — in the form of ‘bulldozers’. Over 1,000 shanties of hawkers have been destroyed by the BJP-led Haryana government in Nuh till the Chandigarh High Court order came to the rescue of the destitute. No less than the home minister of Haryana dropped a comment, “Monu Manesar was just asking the devotees to go for a Brij Mandal Yatra; he was not instigating the violence!”
It seems as if he was guiding the police not to go after the perpetrators. A senior citizens’ team of the fascists, then, took over the baton to organize mahapanchayats in support of the culprits. Their team of advocates thereby thronged the courts to protect the foot-soldiers, and the vicious circle, thereby, goes on.
However, the people’s reaction to this gory spectacle of the Nuh violence, was, indeed, pleasantly surprising. Not a single person to whom we spoke to, was under any confusion that the violence has anything to do with the ‘Hindus are in danger’ propaganda. The strong bond between Muslims and Hindus is still intact. That is the reason that more and more sections of the Hindu community supported the Muslim Meo community.
The Dalit community, Jats, Gujjars, section of Yadavs and farmers joined the sizable and growing section of secular masses not only to condemn the Hindutva goons but even challenged them openly to dare touch the Muslims. This has turned the tables and frustrated the shrieking, fanatic, Hindutva sections for the first time. This is really heartening and shows the way ahead. Challenging them collectively, with determination, will thwart their heinous agenda and establish peace.
The worst sufferers are the daily wage-earners, and the poor hawkers and vendors who lost their means of livelihood and were chased and arrested by the police, since every FIR has some names. Then, there is the phenomena of ‘and others’. The poor are subjected to the most vulgar forms of ‘otherization’.
The police, administration and state government supported the criminals by not arresting them even after 10 days of the violence. Only after seeing the mood of the people and the writing on the wall did they swing into action and arrested one of the chief perpetrators — Bittu Bajrangi. It was a face-saving exercise, rather than teaching these lumpen elements a lesson.
Everybody except their foot-soldiers and masters know that Monu Manesar is a hardcore criminal masquerading as ‘Gaurakshak’, officially absconding, since he is accused as a mastermind in the lynching case of burning Junaid and Nasir alive. The official bluff is torn apart as he keeps appearing on various channels — ‘live’ — as if he is a ‘celebrity’.
The victims have to cement the bond with the other community and they have to organize to resist peacefully. Their determination not to succumb to arm-twisting is bound to get massive support all around, including from the sane sections of the administration. Massive mass movements have to be organized across the country against these Nazi tactics. Each and every person has to sit up and think about the way he/she can support the movement against this sinister onslaught.
Dark clouds are hovering over the horizon; there is no doubt about that. However, everything is still not lost. We will collectively defeat these lumpen forces, supported and financed by corporate sharks in order to save their dying regime of exploitation. Fascism is capitalism in decay, as Lenin said. The capitalist-imperialist system is now rotten beyond repair. It has to be buried deep to get rid of fascism, the most violent, hateful and conspiratorial system of governance — once and for all.

A total of 23 people arrested in connection to the recent incidents of violence in Haryana’s Nuh were produced before the court, and were later sent to police remand for up to five days on Thursday.
“A total of 23 accused in 6 different cases were produced before the court today. Accused in FIR No. 261 sent to 4-day remand. One accused sent to 3-day remand, five accused sent to 4-day remand and the remaining sent to 5-day remand,” said the Counsel of the accused on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said that police have registered 83 FIRs and 159 people have been arrested after the violence gripped Nuh and Gurgram districts.
Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda demanded a judicial probe by a high court judge into the government’s “failure” to prevent the violence.
“We demand a judicial inquiry headed by a high court judge into why the government failed to prevent the riots in Nuh, and that will help bring out the truth about the incident,” he told reporters.
“The probe should ascertain the truth about what led to the violent clashes, who instigated them, and why the government failed to take preventive steps on time to prevent a communal clash,” Hooda said.
Earlier on Thursday, the Haryana government partially lifted the mobile internet suspension from 1 pm to 4 pm hours today in multiple districts.
The state government, in its order, said that the internet is being lifted for the said period of time to facilitate the candidates of the CET/Screening test (Group C posts) to download their admit cards.
The internet will be partially lifted in Nuh, Faridabad, Palwal, and the territorial jurisdiction of Sub Division Sohna, Pataudi, and Manesar of District Gurugram.
Clashes between two groups broke out in Nuh after a religious procession passing through the district came under attack, leaving two home guards dead and dozens of people—including around 20 policemen —injured in the frenzy of violence that followed. (ANI)
