Haryana Home Minister alleges 'conspiracy' in Nuh violence, vows detailed investigation

Synopsis

The Haryana government has taken measures to address the escalating communal tension in Nuh district by blocking mobile internet connections until Wednesday, August 2. This move aims to curb the dissemination of inflammatory content and help alleviate the situation.

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij has expressed the state government's commitment to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the Nuh violence, which resulted in the tragic deaths of two home guards and one civilian on Monday. Minister Vij raised concerns over the discovery of stones, weapons, and bullets at the scene, hinting at a possible 'conspiracy' behind the disturbing incident.

He also assured the public that the situation in the district is currently under control, as a curfew has been imposed to restore order. However, the unrest in Nuh spilled over to Gurugram, where a mob engaged in stone-pelting and set shops and a cab ablaze near Ambedkar Chowk in the Sohna Road area.

"The way stones, weapons, bullets were found, it seems there is a mastermind behind this. We will conduct a detailed investigation and take strict actions against the people involved in this," he further added.
