New Delhi/IBNS: The Haryana Police has detained cow vigilante Monu Manesar, who is accused of inciting violence in Nuh in July, media reports said.

"Our colleagues in the Haryana Police have informed us that Monu Manesar has been detained.

"After their legal procedures are complete, we will begin our procedure," Mridul Kachawa, superintendent of police of Bharatpur in Rajasthan, said as quoted by NDTV.

Six people were killed in a violence that broke out in July during a religious procession in Haryana's Nuh just 50 km from Delhi, following what many said after an objectionable video went viral.

As a mob attacked the procession with stones, the 2,500-plus participants rushed into a temple to take shelter.

The violence escalated as the evening progressed with a mosque being torched post-midnight, and more than a hundred vehicles vandalised as mobs went on rampage in Nuh and neighbouring Gurugram.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had promised "strict action".

Manesar, an activist of Bajrang Dal, is also accused of murdering two Muslim men from Rajasthan.

Nasir, 25, and Junaid, 35, were allegedly murdered on February 15. The two men were the residents of Rajasthan's Bharatpur.
