Haryana's Nuh district, last night, motorcycle-borne assailants were seen hurling Molotov cocktails at two mosques, according to police sources. The incident took place around 11:30 pm on Wednesday night. While no one was injured in the incident, both mosques suffered some damage.

One of the mosques is located near Vijay Chowk and the other one is located near a police station. Soon after information was received about the incidents, fire brigades were rushed to the two mosques and the fire was doused, police said. A bangle shop in Palwal district's Minar Gate market was also set on fire by unidentified assailants, they said.

Prohibitory orders are in place in both Nuh and Palwal districts, in view of the communal violence that erupted in Nuh on Monday after a mob tried to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession. Internet and SMS services in Nuh and mobile internet in Faridabad, Palwal, Sohna subdivision and Manesar will remain suspended till August 5. Mobs killed a cleric, torched an eatery and vandalised shops as communal violence that began in Nuh spilled over into neighbouring Gurugram on Tuesday.

The toll from the clashes rose to six, the violence at Nuh chowk claiming the most lives – of homeguards Neeraj and Gursevak, Abhishek and Ankit of Panipat, who were likely participating in the yatra, and Shakti Singh, a local shopkeeper. The other victim is Mohd Saad, a member of the Gurgaon mosque who was stabbed to death by the mob. Both Ankit and Singh, who succumbed to their injuries on Wednesday, were being treated in Nuh.
