Violence erupted on July 31 in Nuh

Monu Manesar came into the spotlight in July when he released a video promoting a rally in Nuh. In the video, he encouraged more Hindu followers to participate in the rally. However, he did not attend the rally himself. His video incited anger among members of the Muslim community, leading to widespread violence, including stone-pelting, shootings, and arson, resulting in several casualties. Since then, various Islamic organizations had been demanding the arrest of Monu Manesar.
