Meos demand arrest of Raj MLA in mob lynching case

The Meo community today demanded the arrest of BJP MLA Gyan Dev Ahuja, accusing him of being involved in a conspiracy of lynching of Rakbar alias Akbar Khan by a mob in Alwar.

The demand was made at a Meo community's mahapanchayat in the victim's village in Haryana's Nuh district, which is close to the Rajasthan border, said Alwar's Mev Panchayat leader Sher Mohammad.

Mohammad demanded that the MLA be booked for hatching the lynching conspiracy and be arrested, saying that he "gave provocative statements after the lynching and supported the accused."
