Mob Attacks Mosque, Toll Rises to Five; Curfew Imposed in Nuh; Internet Services Suspended in Sohna, Pataudi, and Manesar
The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has demanded a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the recent violence in Haryana, terming it a “terror attack.”
The violence erupted during a religious procession in Nuh district, resulting in the death of five people, including the killing of a mosque’s naib imam in Gurugram.
Haryana’s Home Minister, Anil Vij, claimed that the violence was “engineered.” As a response, the Haryana government has sought 20 companies of the Rapid Action Force from the Centre to maintain law and order in Nuh district.
Curfew has been imposed in Nuh, and internet services suspended in certain areas. Police and administration are holding meetings with prominent community members to ensure peace.
VHP activists plan to hold protests across the country against the attacks on Hindus in Haryana. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has appealed for peace and brotherhood in the region.
