Mohan Chauhan arrested for inflammatory remarks against politicians, with multiple cases registered against him since 2016.
Police in Aligarh have arrested a Karni Sena activist, who announced a bounty on the head of Samajwadi Party MP Ramji Lal Suman last week, after he allegedly used objectionable and provocative language against Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav.
Police arrested Mohan Chauhan, whose remarks were circulating on social media, on Friday (April 18, 2025) night from his residence under the Jawan police station limits in view of the "threat" to peace posed by his "inflammatory" comments.
Circle officer Abhay Kumar Pandey said the case against Mr. Chauhan was registered on the basis of a complaint filed on Wednesday (April 16, 2025) by SP district president Laxmi Dhangar.
During probe, it came to light that there were more than six cases registered against Mr. Chauhan since 2016.
Mr. Chauhan was earlier booked for allegedly announcing a reward of ₹25 lakh on the head of SP Rajya Sabha MP Suman, who recently stoked a controversy with his statement on 16th-century Rajput king Rana Sanga, calling him a "traitor" for allegedly inviting Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty, to defeat Ibrahim Lodi.
In a video, Mr. Chauhan was purportedly heard saying that Mr. Suman would have to pay the price for his comments. He was also heard saying that given the opportunity, he would personally carry out the act.
Aarti Singh, the SP Mahila Sabha chief for Aligarh, lodged a complaint against Chauhan for his remarks targeting Mr. Suman at the Gandhi Park police station on March 29.
