GURGAON: Police will bring back Mohit Yadav alias Monu Manesar – under scrutiny for his alleged role in fanning the violence after the July 31 riots in Nuh and for the killings of two men, Nasir and Junaid, in February – to the city from Rajasthan for investigation in another case of rioting and attempt to murder filed in Pataudi earlier this year.
After police in the city moved the application for Monu’s custody on Saturday, the court of judicial magistrate (first class) Tarannum Khan issued a production warrant the same day to produce him on September 25. The case, cops said, was registered on February 7 this year by the father of a Pataudi resident who was allegedly shot at by Monu and others in a scuffle between two communities. Mubeen Khan (45) had told the cops that his 20-year-old son Moheen was buying groceries in Babbarshah Mohallah when an argument between two groups broke out on the night of February 6. “My son had to come home through the same route, and as he tried to walk through the angry crowd, he got shot in the back,” Mubeen said. A case was registered against Monu under IPC sections 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting with weapons), 149 (unlawful assembly), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 307 (attempt to murder), 201 (disappearing evidence), and provisions of Arms Act.
Just around a week later, the leader of the cow vigilante network in south Haryana was named as a key accused along with others for allegedly killing the two men from Rajasthan’s Bharatpur. The charred bodies of Nasir and Junaid were found in a Bolero in Haryana’s Bhiwani on February 16.
