Haryana Police: The police chief of Haryana’s Nuh where communal violence broke out last week during a Vishwa Hindu Parishad Rally, has now been transferred to the state’s Bhiwani district. IPS Varun Sinla who was on leave when the clashes broke out has now been replaced by IPS officer Narendra Bijarniya. Bijarniya has been working as acting superintendent of Police since the violence began and earlier led the police force in Nuh from February 2020 to October 2021.
Narendra Bijarniya transfer
Narendra Bijarniya was immediately transferred from Bhiwani to Nuh after clashes broke out and Singla was absent. Now, permanent orders were issued for his appointment as SP amid “intense communal tension” in the area.
Talking to NDTV, Bijarniya blamed rumours spread by trouble-makers for the violence. “Mewat is known for its composite culture and brotherhood. This violence has been instigated by some people through social media. A grand religious procession used to go through ancient temples here, this is the first time it has seen violence. Some troublemakers caused it through social media posts,” Narendra Bijarniya said.
“We have been monitoring social media, and the district police had made arrangements accordingly. We never imagine such large scale violence could happen. There have been shortcomings, no doubt, that’s why the violence happened. Top officials are investigating it now to ensure this doesn’t happen anywhere again,” he added.
Nuh Violence
In a clashes that broke out on Monday in Nuh district of Haryana between Hindu and Muslim communities, six people including two home guards and a cleric, died in the clashes that erupted in Nuh in an attempt to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession and spread to Gurugram over the past few days.
