A Pataudi court on Wednesday committed to the Gurugram sessions court the attempt to murder case against alleged cow vigilante and Bajrang Dal activist Monu Manesar.
The next hearing will be held on November 30 in the Gurugram sessions court.
Advocate Kulbhushan Bhardwaj, counsel of Monu Manesar said that in the case, the Pataudi police had submitted a charge sheet against Monu Manesar and co-accused Sunil alias Sulli in Pataudi court on Saturday.
“During hearing through video conference from Bhondsi jail today, the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Tarannum Khan committed the case to the sessions court as this is triable. The next hearing will be held on November 30 in the sessions court in Gurugram,” Bhardwaj said.
Rakesh Kumar, SHO of Pataudi police station said the accused Lalit and Rakesh were arrested by Gurugram Police and sent to jail. Accused Sunil alias Sulli had joined the investigation in compliance of the Punjab and Haryana High Court orders. Mohit alias Monu Yadav, resident of Manesar, was wanted in this case but he was also sent into judicial custody.
“We had submitted the charge sheet against Monu Manesar and Sunil alias Sulli in the court on Saturday. Three more suspects are still absconding in the case and we are trying to arrest them,” said Inspector Kumar.
According to police, the case is related to a brawl between two groups in Pataudi’s Baba Shah Mohalla on February 6 when Manesar was present with his group. A complaint was filed by Mubin Khan, a resident of the same locality, who alleged his son was shot at during firing between the two groups.
Following the complaint, an FIR was registered under section 307 (attempt to murder) against Manesar at the Pataudi police station on February 7.
