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 when he was not present in Nuh the day the violence broke out.
Mamman Khan had also filed a petition in the High Court regarding his bail and security. While hearing the case, the court rejected Khan’s bail and security petition and asked him to approach the lower court. The next hearing in the case will be on October 19.
