Guwahati, May 20 -- The Sonipat Court on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, rejected the Haryana Police's plea to extend the police custody of Ashoka University's Associate Professor of Political Science, Ali Khan Mahmudabad, and ordered his remand to judicial custody for 14 days.

According to Khan's lawyer, Kapil Balyan, the police had requested a seven-day extension of his client's remand to recover his passport.

"We informed the court that a photocopy of Khan's passport had already been submitted to the police, and all travel information could be obtained from the Ministry of External Affairs," said Balyan...
