Haryana Violence: The reverberations of yesterday’s violence in Nuh, Haryana, have travelled 40 km to Badshahpur. This evening, a mob set restaurants and stores on fire while shouting religious hymns. A religious parade headed by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Nuh, Haryana, on Monday was marred by skirmishes that left four people—two home guards, a civilian, and an Imam—dead and several police officers injured. While the Imam was slain in Gurugram, three persons perished in Nuh. Outside a mosque that was still being built in Gurugram’s Sector-56 on Monday night, two persons were attacked, one of whom was an imam. Imam Mohmmad Saad and Khursheed were attacked by three to four men brandishing sticks. Saad was murdered in the incident, while Khursheed was also shot in the leg and is reportedly in severe condition.
Clashes and Chaos as Mob Blocks Religious March in Nuh
About five people were present in the mosque that was still under construction when the incident took place, according to some of the eye witnesses. People had to conceal themselves.

Clashes broke out between the two groups, and cars were burned and stones were thrown. Protesters from two communities battled near Sohna Road in Gurugram as news of the violence in Nuh spread, causing damage to multiple vehicles. Also, protesters spent hours blocking a road.
