Gurgaon Police has banned the sale of loose petrol or diesel, which rioters have been using to start fires.

  


Gurugram: After repercussions from Monday's communal fight in Haryana's Nuh reached upscale neighborhoods of Gurugram, Delhi boosted security and deployed drones to monitor sensitive locations.

Here are 10 facts on this big story:


Following Tuesday's arson attacks on many stores and shanties close to a residential community in Gurugram, the city has issued prohibitory orders.To reduce the likelihood of arson, the sale of loose gasoline or diesel has also been prohibited.

Police also cautioned residents against believing rumors and social media claims.

Just 50 kilometers from Delhi, in Nuh, violence broke out during a religious procession on Monday as a result of what many claim to be an offensive video that went viral.The 2,500+ attendees raced into a shrine to seek refuge as a crowd attacked the procession with stones.

As the evening wore on, the violence worsened; around midnight, a mosque was set on fire, and more than a hundred vehicles were torched and vandalized as crowds rampaged through Nuh and the nearby city of Gurugram.

Right-wing groups VishwaHinduParishad and Bajrang Dal are holding protest marches over the violence in Haryana in various sections of Delhi.Traffic congestion has resulted from the protests in a number of locations throughout Delhi and the surrounding areas.

Supporters of Bajrang Dal could be seen reciting the Hanuman Chalisa close to the Nirman Vihar Metro Station in videos posted to social media.Later, they attempted to barricade Vikas Marg, but police were able to remove them.

In order to stop any escalation, the Supreme Court has also directed Delhi authorities to use strong force and put in CCTVs.

Questions about the role of social media posts and the alleged inaction of the authorities have also come into sharp focus as a result of the clashes between Hindus and Muslims that broke out on Monday around 50 km south of New Delhi and simmered even a day later, killing at least six people, including two police officers.

A Special Investigation Team is being formed to look into the incidents of intercommunal violence and the involvement of Monu Manesar, a member of the Bajrang Dal.

Manohar Lal Khattar, the chief minister of Haryana, has claimed that he believes there was a "conspiracy" behind the violence on Monday and has called the situation "unfortunate." 

He asserted that certain individuals planned an attack on yatra participants and police, which resulted in violence in various locations.
