The ripples from yesterday’s communal conflict in Haryana’s Nuh — which claimed 5 lives and left no less than 70 individuals injured — has reached Badshahpur, 40 km away. Restaurants and retailers had been vandalised and torched by a mob this night amid spiritual chants. A row of retailers and shanties have been lowered to cinders.

Violence broke out throughout a spiritual procession yesterday in Nuh, following what many say is an objectionable video that went viral.

As a mob attacked the procession with stones, the two,500-plus individuals rushed right into a temple to take shelter.

The violence escalated because the night progressed — a mosque was torched put up midnight, scores of autos torched and vandalised as mobs went on rampage in Nuh and neighbouring Gurugram.

The lifeless embody two safety personnel and two civilians, considered one of them a cleric of the mosque.

The individuals who had taken shelter within the temple had been rescued near midnight.
