Gurugram where several shops and shanties were burnt into ashes by the mob. According to the police, the mobs went on the rampage for over an hour at Sohna Chowk in Gurugram yesterday (1 August), breaking through a police line to pelt stones at shops and houses, and torching vehicles that came in their way. Besides, the aggressive mobs vandalised and torched shops and restaurants in Badshahpur, Pataudi Chowk, and Sector 67 after the mosque was burned down in Sector 57.

A mob of roughly 45 people vandalised Anjuman Jama Masjid in Sector 57 and set it ablaze on Tuesday. At least one person, identified as the deputy or naib imam, was killed in the incident, while three others were injured. Violence erupted in Haryana's Nuh district on Monday after VHP's 'Brij Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra' was stopped by a group of young men near Khedla Mod and stones pelted at the procession.

According to some claims, the trigger for the clash was an objectionable video posted on social media by a Bajrang Dal activist in Ballabhgarh. There were also reports that Monu Manesar, a cow vigilante booked earlier for the murder of two Muslim men whose charred bodies were found in the Bhiwani district in February, was supposed to join the procession. The vigilante, however, told PTI that he did not participate on the advice of the VHP, which feared that his presence would create tension.

There were also threats on Twitter daring him to come to Nuh. Monu Manesar is among the 21 people who have been named in the alleged abduction and killing of two Muslim men whose charred bodies were found in the Bhiwani district of Haryana in February this year. The charred bodies of Junaid (35) and Nasir (27) were found inside a vehicle in Bhiwani on February 16 after
