AGRA: A court in Muzaffarnagar Monday issued a non-bailable warrant against UP minister of state for vocational education and skill development Kapil Dev Aggarwal , other BJP functionaries and Hindutva activists for not appearing before it in connection with a 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots case.

The others against whom the NBW was issued include former BJP sugarcane minister and MLA Suresh Rana , former BJP MP from Bijnor Kunwar Bharatendra Singh, former MLA Ashok Kansal, Dasna temple priest Yati Narsinghanand, among others.

The court’s action came while it was hearing a matter related to organising without administration’s approval a panchayat on August 31, 2013 at Nagla Mandaur village, which allegedly incited communal tension in the area. Another panchayat held without official permission on September 7, 2013 is believed to have triggered the communal riots in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts, resulting in the death of 62 people

Special judge of MP-MLA court Devendra Faujdar issued the warrants and fixed October 29 as the next date of hearing.
