Khap leaders demand arrests in Ankit Balyan murder; set Oct 5 deadline

Khap panchayat heads, led by Naresh Tikait, met district officials in Shamli demanding security, employment, and financial aid for the family of murdered Ankit Balyan, and set an October 5 deadline for the arrest of remaining accused. The development signals potential escalation of local caste/community tensions if demands are unmet, but no immediate market impact.
