Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala spoke to media persons on Wednesday following the violence in Nuh district that claimed five lives, including two police homeguards. He stated that the yatra organisers had failed to provide the district administration with the necessary information, which eventually led to the clashes.
"The yatra organisers did not give complete information about the procession to the district administration, which resulted in the violence. Strict action will follow against those responsible for the incident," Chautala told reporters.
The situation in the district has since then normalized. Assistant Commissioner of Police, Crime, Varun Dahiya informed that all restrictions on traffic movement have been lifted, classes are being held as normal, and workplaces are also functioning as usual.
Mobile internet services have also been restored in the district, and Dahiya urged locals to be wary of any rumors or misinformation they may come across on social media.
SP Narender Bijarniya said that 40 FIRs have been lodged in connection with the violence and 116 people have been arrested so far.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar suspected a “conspiracy” behind the clashes and called it an “unfortunate” incident. He said that violence was reported at several places and that a big conspiracy seems to be behind it.
Sixteen companies of central forces and 20 of the Haryana Police have been deployed in Nuh after the July 31 violence. Deputy Commissioner Nishant Yadav said the situation was under control and normalcy has been restored in the district. He also informed that markets are open in Sohna and a flag march has been conducted.
