Carnage in Haryana: Violent mob unleashes terror, kills two home guards
In a shocking turn of events, Haryana’s Nuh district became the epicenter of a lethal clash between two communities on Monday evening. The horrifying incident resulted in the tragic loss of two home guard personnel, Neeraj and Gursevak, who were fatally injured when an enraged mob targeted a police team. It’s believed that the fallen guards, both hailing from Gurugram’s Khedali Daula police station, suffered gunshot wounds during the violent encounter. Reports also indicate numerous other police personnel were gravely wounded in the attack and are currently receiving treatment at a nearby hospital.
The tragedy unfolded as police units were en route from Gurugram to Nuh, following reports of brewing confrontations. According to senior Gurugram police officials, their journey was brutally interrupted in Sohna by a mob of miscreants, who descended upon the police vehicles with a hail of stones. Allegedly, this assault escalated into a hailstorm of bullets directed at the law enforcement officers.

Among the wounded in this chilling attack are several high-ranking officials, including DSP Hodal, Sajjan Singh, Inspectors Ajay, Devendra, Anil, and Sub-Inspectors Arun, Deepak, Devendra, along with ASI Rajesh, Head Constable Sher Singh and Constable Pawan. While all injured officers were swiftly transported to a hospital, the grievous injuries sustained by home guards Neeraj and Gursevak proved fatal.
In response to this brutal attack, internet services in the area have been suspended for a period of three days, and Section 144 has been imposed, prohibiting any large gatherings. Notably, the police successfully evacuated about 2,500 individuals, including women and children, who had sought refuge in a local temple from the conflict-ridden zone.
As the local and state administrations are continually urging Haryanvi people to restore peace and brotherhood, the situation remains volatile, with senior police officials monitoring the developments and the area’s DCP pledging full support to the victims’ families.
