Ajaz Khan's police custody extended to 14 days after actor allegedly uploaded 'communal' Tik Tok videos

A city court here on Saturday extended actor Ajaz Khan's police custody to 14 days. The actor was arrested on Thursday by the city’s cybercrime police for allegedly creating and uploading “objectionable” videos. The content posted by Khan is “promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, etc and creating hatred among the public at large”, police had said after his arrest on Thursday. The ex-Bigg Boss contestant’s lawyer had earlier opposed the police custody on grounds that preliminary investigation was done before the arrest and also because the telecast material is already seized. The police, however, maintained that custody was required. [caption id=“attachment_7018401” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Ajaz Khan.
