Dramatic arrest in Kannauj: SP leader Kaish Khan found hiding wrapped in a mattress - police video goes viral

Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and former party treasurer Kaish Khan was caught hiding in the loft of his house in Kannauj , despite being ordered on July 28 to stay outside the district limits. The incident shows a clear violation of the official order meant to keep him out of the area.

The banishment order was formally issued by district authorities, explicitly prohibiting Khan from remaining within Kannauj's jurisdictional boundaries. This administrative action was implemented through official channels as a legal enforcement measure. The Kotwali police received a tip, which led to his arrest.

Despite the clear directive requiring his departure from the district, Khan chose to deliberately evade the order by concealing himself within his own residence. His choice of hiding location - the loft of his house - demonstrated a calculated attempt to avoid detection by enforcement authorities.

The violation period extended over several weeks, during which Khan managed to remain undetected in his hiding spot. This prolonged evasion period indicated a sustained effort to circumvent the legal restrictions placed upon his movements.
