Security issue halts Monu's Hry handover

The Gurugram Police on Monday failed to bring Bajrang Dal functionary and cow vigilante Mohit Yadav alias Monu Manesar to Haryana on a production warrant as prison authorities in Rajasthan, where he is currently lodged, put off producing him before the court, citing security concerns.

Yadav was picked up by Haryana Police on September 12 in connection with an incendiary social media post on August 26.

He was handed over to the Rajasthan Police after it obtained a transit remand from a court in Nuh, in connection with the February 16 abduction and killing two Muslim men in Haryana's Bhiwani district.

On September 22, Yadav was shifted from the central jail at Sewar to the Ajmer high security jail due to security reasons.

Yadav is also a named suspect in an attempt to murder case registered at the Pataudi police station on February 7, and the Gurugram police had sought his production warrant to bring him to the city for interrogation.
