Khap Members Block Hisar Road Over Delayed Arrests in Dairy Owner’s Murder

Khap members in Hisar, Haryana, halted traffic on a main thoroughfare after police were criticized for delaying the arrest of suspects in the murder of a local dairy owner. The protest began in the early afternoon and involved a group of men who positioned themselves along the road, blocking vehicles from passing.

The dairy owner, whose name has not been disclosed, was found dead in his premises earlier this week. Police had announced an arrest warrant for several individuals, but the delay in executing the arrests prompted the Khap members to take action.

Local authorities have responded by deploying additional officers to manage the situation and to ensure that the road remains open for emergency services. The police have stated that they are working to expedite the arrest process and are reviewing the timeline of the investigation.

The incident has drawn attention to the community’s frustration with the pace of the legal proceedings and highlights the role of local Khap bodies in influencing public order in Haryana.

The protest is expected to continue until the police complete the arrests, after which the Khap members plan to disperse peacefully.
