According to a report by the news agency ANI, Khan will be produced at the Nuh District Court. Khan was arrested by a special investigative team (SIT) of the Haryana police.
Speaking to ANI, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Mamta Singh said the Congress MLA's arrest came a day after the Haryana government told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that it named him as an accused in an FIR in the case about the violence. Photographs from ANI showed security heightened outside the district court, and security was also heightened at Palwal T point with people not allowed entry on the road leading to the court premises.
