Gurugram, July 24 (TIWN) Gurugram police arrested prominent Jat leader Hawa Singh Sangwan for his controversial post on social media against freedom fighter Rao Tula Ram.

Subhash Bokan, PRO of Gurugram police said: "Sangwan in his post has termed Rao Tula Ram as fugitive during freedom struggle. He has also made objectionable remarks on Yadav regiment which this community has strongly objected to".

"As the objectionable remarks have hint on outraging a particular community, Gurugram police commissioner after the complaint has directed concerned police station to register FIR and further legal proceedings," Bokan said.

Jat and Yadav communities have big stakes in politics of Haryana. Both the communities have sizable strengths in their respective areas.
