Haryana: Mob torches restaurants, shops in Gurugram a day after Nuh communal clashes

New Delhi/IBNS: The ripples from Monday's 18-hour communal clash in Haryana's Nuh, which claimed five lives and left at least 70 people injured, have now reached Badshahpur, 50 km away.

A violent mob vandalised and torched shops and eateries this evening amid religious chants.

As per reports, a mob of around 200 had entered the area around 3 PM, armed with sticks and stones.

They vandalized several shops, including several meat shops, and set fire to an eatery. No one was injured. 

On Monday, violence broke out during a religious procession in 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.

At least five people were killed, and over 70 received injuries amid the massive violence outside the temple that erupted during the religious procession.

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.

The dead include two security personnel and two civilians, one of them a cleric of the mosque.

The people who had taken shelter in the temple were rescued close to midnight.

According to the administration, 44 FIRs have been registered so far which led to the arrest of more than 70 people.

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

"Today's incident is unfortunate. I appeal to all the people to maintain peace in the state. The guilty will not be spared at any cost, and strictest action will be taken against them," he posted on Twitter.
