A Home Guard personnel was shot dead and about a dozen policemen injured when a group of young men tried to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession, in Haryana’s Nuh district on Monday.


Stones were pelted and cars set on fire during a religious procession, they added. People in the procession hurled stones back at the youths, reports said.


Police lobbed teargas shells to disperse crowds. Prohibitory orders banning assembly of people were clamped in the entire district.


Mobile internet services were suspended till Wednesday to contain the “intense communal tension”, the Haryana government said.

According to some claims, the trigger for the clash was an objectionable video posted on social media by a Bajrang Dal activist. There were also reports that Monu Manesar, a cow vigilante wanted in the murder of two Muslim men in Rajasthan, was supposed to join the procession.

As news of the violence in Muslim-dominated Nuh spread, mobs in adjoining Gurugram district’s Sohna set ablaze four vehicles and a shop, apparently belonging to Muslims.
