Haryana DGP PK Agrawal on Wednesday said an SIT will be formed to investigate the cases of communal violence in the state and the role of Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar in the clashes is being probed.

Addressing a press conference in Gurugram, the DGP said the situation in the state was under control and the curfew has been relaxed for a brief period in Nuh.

Agrawal said senior officers have been deployed in Nuh and the police force has been directed to strictly deal with anybody violating orders of the administration.

“A special investigation team will be formed to probe all cases of violence. If there was any conspiracy, it will also be investigated and the guilty will not be spared. The role of Bajrang Dal’s Monu Manesar is also being investigated,” the DGP said.

The DGP said a total 41 of FIRs have been registered in Nuh and 116 suspects arrested, adding that more than 100 suspects have been detained for questioning.

Two of our home guards were killed in the violence in Nuh. Financial aid will be provided to their families, he added.

Six people have been killed and over 50 others, including policemen, have been injured in the violence that broke out in Nuh on Monday. The violence began after the Muslim mobs systematically attacked Hindu religious yatra. As part of the pre-planned organised violence, Muslim mobs pelted stones, threw petrol bombs, fired bullets, and set vehicles, police stations, and government buildings on fire.
