thebalanced.newsCongress Seeks Governor's Intervention Over UAPA Case Against Haryana MLA Mamman Khan
A Congress delegation led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda submitted a memorandum to Haryana Governor Ashim Kumar Ghosh alleging the false implication of MLA Mamman Khan in the 2023 Nuh riots case. The FIR, registered in August 2023 after a complaint about communal violence and arson, included charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The Congress claims Khan was not present at the incidents and was implicated based on a disclosure statement by another accused. Khan was arrested in September 2023 and later granted bail. The memorandum calls for the Governor's intervention, asserting political vendetta behind the charges.
