Fresh Violence Erupts In Gurugram: 14 Shops Vandalised

Fresh violence erupted in Gurugram's Badshahpur on Tuesday, following communal clashes in Haryana's Nuh, according to reports. Nearly 200 men on motorbikes and SUVs targeted and vandalised 14 shops in the main market, primarily those selling biryani and other food items. Additionally, seven stores were set on fire in Sector 66.

Earlier, a mob of around 45 people fired at a mosque in Gurugram's sector 57, later setting it ablaze. The incident resulted in at least one fatality and three injuries, with one person critically wounded.

Gurugram's Deputy Commissioner, Nishant Yadav, stated that the situation is currently 'peaceful' and that law and order are normal. The authorities took measures to control the situation, including conducting a flag march. The violence in Sohna was linked to the events in Nuh the previous day, but it was brought under control.

The Haryana government imposed Section 144 CrPC in Gurugram and Nuh in response to the clashes. Educational institutions in Gurugram, Faridabad, and Palwal were ordered to remain closed on Tuesday due to the violence.

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, after a high-level meeting, expressed concerns about a potential larger conspiracy aimed at disrupting the state's law-and-order situation.
