Nuh (Haryana): Once again it seems like tension grips in Haryana as eight women reported injured after some unidentified children allegedly hurled stones at them from a mosque on Thursday in Haryana’s Nuh on Thursday, sources reported citing the police officials.
According to the police, the occurrence occurred near a mosque around 8:20 pm on Thursday when a group of women were on their way for a ‘kuan (well) poojan’. The stones were allegedly hurled at them by some children when they reached near the madrasa. In no time, people from both communities gathered there, gripping the violence-hit area into tension.
After learning about the incident, Nuh Superintendent of Police Narender Bijarniya rushed the spot along with a heavy police force, and dispersed the gathering. The police has also registered an FIR and has called the mawlawi of the mosque for interrogation.
While speaking with media, Nuh Superintendent of Police Narender Bijarniya said, “Some females were going for ‘Kuan Poojan’ and there has been a complaint that stones were pelted by some children from the madrasa. People from both communities gathered here in this regard…FIR is being registered…We urged to the people to maintain peace. Relevant action will be taken…There has been no big casualty or injury.”
Same incident happened earlier in the month of July, communal clashes had reported in Haryana’s Nuh and its adjoining areas after a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) procession was attacked by a mob which claimed the lives of six people, including two home guards and a cleric, and left more than 88 injured.
The riots had also derived to neighbouring districts, including Gurugram, where mobs set afire a mosque and pillaged several shops and restaurants. Over 61 cases were registered in connection with the riots and at least 340 suspects were arrested, according to the police.
Congress leader and Ferozepur Jhirka MLA Mamman Khan was named as one of the suspects in the violence and was arrested in September for his alleged role in inciting the clashes and for remaining in touch with suspects involved in sharing “misleading” and “provocative” posts on social media platforms to instigate others. He was later granted bail in two of the cases last month.
