Before this, on 15 September, shortly after the arrest of Congress MLA Mamman Khan in connection with the Nuh violence -- occurred on 31 July -- the Haryana government decided to suspend mobile internet and bulk SMS services in the district for two days.

Notably, the government order issued for this action does not explicitly mention Khan's arrest as the reason behind this suspension. "This order is issued to prevent any disturbance of peace and public order in the jurisdiction of district Nuh in the state of Haryana and shall be in force with effect from September 15 (10:00hrs) to September 16 (2359hrs)," says the order issued by Home Department Additional Chief Secretary T V S N Prasad, as reported by PTI.
