Congress MLA Mamman Khan charged under UAPA for role in Nuh violence

Nuh: Charges under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) have been slapped against Congress MLA Mamman Khan in Haryana in connection with the Nuh violence case. The charges have been slapped against the Ferozpur Jhirka MLA in a case lodged at the Nagina police station here.

Police have added charges under anti-terror law UAPA to the FIR, Khan's counsel said on Wednesday. Police had earlier accused Khan of inciting violence and being in touch with those involved in sharing provocative posts on social media platforms. Besides, he also faces some other charges in the FIR.

Khan was arrested last year in connection with the Nuh violence case and granted bail by a court subsequently. Tahir Hussain Rupariya, the counsel of the accused, said he had sought a status report from the court and the document revealed that charges under the UAPA have been added to the FIR.
