Nuh (Haryana) – On 31st July, violence broke out in Haryana’s Nuh District during the ‘Brij Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra,’ which was organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal. Four Hindus were killed in the attack by fanatical Muslims.
According to an official statement, two Home Guards, Neeraj and Gursev, who were deployed from Gurugram to Nuh in the wake of the violence, died in the line of duty. More than 50 Police officers too were injured in the riots that followed.
While fanatical Muslims and their supporters had widely used social media platforms to mobilise rioters, a report published by Hindustan Times sheds light on the extent the assailants went to in the nefarious designs to attack Hindu processions in Haryana’s Muslim-majority region of Nuh.
A Bajrang Dal activist named Abhishek Rajput was shot dead. After that, his throat was slit with a sharp weapon and his head was crushed with stones, the extent of brutality which is normally associated with terror outfits like the Taliban.
1. The fanatical Muslims torched the vehicles of many Hindus participating in the Yatra, and also burnt down Hindu shops, while pelting stones at the Gorakhnath Temple and attempting to break its door. The priest of the temple was also beaten up.
2. An AK-47 rifle is said to have been used in the firing. There is prima facie that this attack was pre-planned.
3. Fanatical Muslims broke into and vandalised the Cyber Police Station located at Anaj Mandi. The Police Station wall was demolished while a bus and a Police vehicle was torched. An attempt was made to burn the documents at the Police Station.
4. Later, 20 units of Paramilitary forces were deployed in Nuh. A curfew was imposed in Nuh District for 2 days. The Internet was shut down. Section 144 was imposed in Rewari, Gurugram, Palwal and Faridabad Districts adjacent to Nuh. Educational institutions in this area were closed on 1st August.
5. Those arrested by the Police over the violence have revealed in their interrogation that meetings were held and WhatsApp groups were created. Responsibilities were assigned to group leaders to collect stones and bottles to attack Hindu processions between 21st July to 23rd July, yet another corroboration of the preplanned nature of the violence.
