On Tuesday, he was granted interim bail by the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Ajay Sharma.

Nuh police had through it’s counsel opposed the bail stating Khan had an important role in orchestrating the violence and should not be granted bail. Ferozepur Jhirka DSP Satish Vats appeared in the court on behalf of the SIT probing the case.He insisted that the cyber cell report of the mobile and laptop of Khanis expected within a week that would prove his involvement in violence.

The court, however, granted bail till October 18 mandating that Khan cooperates in investigation. The court asked SIT to furnish the technical evidence cited by them on next hearing on October 18 the merits of which will decide the future course of the bail.

Meanwhile Gurugram MP Rao Inderjeet Singh, who was in Nuh today, said that justice will prevail in communal clashes.

I urge everybody to work towards it. We will ensure that state never has to go through another such incident,” said Singh. He was addressing a Sadbhavana Committee meeting today and said that he waited for some time to do so to ensure that his visit does not in any form disrupt the efforts of stabilisation.
