Massive Violence Breaks Out In Haryana's Nuh

Several people were injured in Haryana's Nuh district after two communities broke out in violence during a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) rally on Monday. Internet services have been shut down, and Section 144 has been imposed. Government and private vehicles were set on fire. Stones were also pelted at the police while the police backfired to control the situation.

The cause of the situation was the alleged presence of Monu Manesar, a prominent cow vigilante and member of Bajrang Dal, who is wanted for the murder of two men in Rajasthan, during the VHP rally.

Ore than one thousand police personnel have been deployed to control the situation. In addition to this, officials used loudspeakers to instruct residents to stay in their homes. Additional police forces have been urgently summoned from neighboring districts Palwal, Faridabad, and Rewari. Police also conducted a flag march following the unrest.

Reportedly, shops around Tiranga Park, Naya Bazar, Gali Bazar and Hodal Bypass have been shuttered. Streets were seen enveloped in black smoke.

The police tracked Monu Manesar after he released a video earlier in the day, suggesting his presence in the yatra. The police team from Rajasthan's Bharatpur was sent to Nuh to arrest him.

Monu Manesar, a self-proclaimed cow protector, is wanted for the abduction and murder of Nasir (25) and Junaid alias Juna (35) in February, both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan. A case was registered against him on February 7 at Pataudi police station.
