Dramatic arrest of Samajwadi Party leader, UP cops find him hiding behind mattress
Kannauj: In a dramatic turn of events, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and former party treasurer Kaish Khan was arrested earlier this week after being found hiding behind a mattress at his brother’s house in Balapeer, Kannauj. The arrest followed a tip-off received by the police, leading to a search operation.
Khan had been served an order by Kannauj District Magistrate Ashutosh Mohan Agnihotri on July 28, directing him to stay out of the district for six months. The court had instructed him to leave Kannauj immediately, and he had reportedly not been seen in the district since.
However, on Wednesday, police received information that he was in his neighbourhood in Balapeer. Despite initial searches at his residence and his brother’s house yielding no results, officers eventually found Khan hiding behind a mattress on a cot in one of the rooms and subsequently took him into custody, as reported by India Today on Saturday.
"He was arrested while relaxing at his house. Later, it was discovered he had also tried to hide in the loft to evade us," said Superintendent of Police Vinod Kumar.
He added that Khan faces multiple criminal cases. A case under section 3 and 10 of the Goonda Act will be registered against him.
