In a recent development, the Haryana Police has taken decisive action in the aftermath of communal clashes that erupted during a religious procession conducted by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Nuh, Haryana.

Late on Tuesday, 116 individuals were apprehended, and approximately 29 First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered. The clashes, which began in Nuh, resulted in the unfortunate demise of at least five people, including two home guards, a civilian, and an imam.

The situation escalated further on Tuesday night, leading to fresh violence in Gurugram and placing the national capital, Delhi, on high alert.
