In Haryana’s Nuh district on Monday evening, confrontations between two groups during a religious parade by the Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad resulted in the deaths of two home guards and the injuries of over 200 others. The conflict resulted in the tossing of stones and the torching of many vehicles. Following this, mobile internet services were terminated in the district of Nuh. Internet access will be unavailable in the Nuh district until August 2. According to a formal announcement from the Haryana government, the decision was made to prevent the dissemination of false information and disinformation on social media.

The deceased have been identified as Neeraj and Gursevak, both of whom worked at the Khedali Daula police station. The police have reported that the police officers who were hurt during the conflict between two groups in Nuh, have been sent to Medanta Hospital in Gurugram.
