Ajaz Khan and controversy go hand-in-hand. In the latest development, the actor has been arrested by Mumbai Police. News was confirmed on the official Twitter handle of news agency, ANI. The actor was arrested on the basis of creating a video on the TikTok app propagating and demanding revenge over Tabrez Ansari's death. The actor has been arrested and will be summoned in the court.
This TikTok video of Ajaz was proving to be a threat to a particular community apparently involved in the death of Tabrez Ansari, a victim of a recent mob lynching episode. Agency's Twitter handle wrote, "Mumbai Police: Actor Ajaz Khan has been arrested, a case was registered against him for creating/uploading videos with objectionable content promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, & creating hatred among public at large."

The actor had shared the video as a response to FIR filed against TikTok app by Mumbai Police, who were against the celebrities posting video regarding Tabrez's lynching and subsequently creating a fear in a community. The videos since then have been removed by Tiktok.
According to IndiaTVNews.com, in the video Ajaz could be seen fully supporting the group that was threatening the community, compelling Mumbai Cops to arrest him.
This is not the first time the actor has been arrested by the cops. In 2018 he was held for possession of drugs in a hotel by Anti-Narcotics Cell of India. He was later released by Bombay High Court on bail.
