Heavy police force, which was led by the Guna district police superintendent Sanjiv Kumar Sinha, later had a tough time controlling the situation. An FIR, on the complaint of Kushwah, was registered at the Guna City Kotwali against five named and 15–20 unidentified accused, including Vicky Khan, at around 11 pm on Saturday.“Nine men, including the prime accused and mastermind of the attack, history-sheeter Vicky Khan, and one of his sons, Sameer, have been arrested and search is on for the other accused,” ASP-Guna Man Singh Thakur said on Sunday.The nine arrested men, besides the prime accused Vicky Khan and his son Sameer Khan, include Taufiq, Sonu, Anas, Shaqil, Atiq, Sahil and Sohrab. Five of them, including Vicky Khan, have a criminal history.While nine men have been arrested following the late-night FIR registered under BNS sections 109, 296, 324(4), 125, 191(2) and (3), 190 and 115(2), no action has yet been taken against the BJP councillor for taking out the religious procession on Saturday evening without permission.Importantly, the present BJP councillor Kushwah had defeated Vicky Khan in the past in the urban body civic elections.After the Saturday evening incident, the Guna district police superintendent, Sanjiv Sinha, had confirmed that the Hanuman Jayanti procession was being taken out without any permission from authorities.“I’ve cross-checked it from the concerned sub-divisional magistrate, who has confirmed that the religious procession was being taken out sans permission. I was myself monitoring the entire development on the CCTV camera. The tension erupted due to the procession stopping near the place of worship and those in the procession indulging in slogan shouting,” Sinha had told journalists on Saturday late night.
