The main accused has been arrested in connection with the gangrape of a 14-year-old girl, who was rehabilitated along with her family.

Over 60 persons were killed and more than 40,000 displaced in communal violence in Muzaffarnagar and adjoining areas in September 2013.

On January 15, the commission had recorded the statements of a few officials who were serving during the riots in 2013.

To maintain peace and order, as many as 16 companies of para-military forces had been deployed in the area, besides policemen, the DM said.

Seven persons have been arrested while five others including the police constable have been found involved in the incident by SIT.

Directives were issued by the government to control such incidents and maintain communal harmony, he said.

The supporters protested the arrest warrant issued against the BKU chief and case lodged against the Khap head.
