Did not have info about intel on possible build-up of tension in Nuh: Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij

August 5, 2023

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij has said that he did not have information about any intelligence input on a possible build-up of Nuh violence on July 31.

“I asked the ACS (additional chief secretary), Home, and the DGP. They also said they did not have any information,” Vij said on Friday in response to a question on the Nuh Muslim violence.

“Do not know who had it (intelligence input) or not, I do not have any information about it. At least I did not know about it,” the Minister added.

Referring to a TV channel sting of a CID Inspector apparently claiming that authorities had inputs about potential trouble during the Hindu religious yatra in Nuh, Vij said a video of the sting operation was going viral and it has to be investigated whom the inspector shared that intelligence with.

“If he had the information, then whom did he share it with,” Vij said, adding that he had sent the video to the additional chief secretary of the home department for analysis.

Six people were killed and over 50 others, including policemen, were injured in the violence that broke out in Nuh on Monday. The violence began after the Muslim mobs systematically attacked Hindu religious yatra.
