Nuh Violence: Haryana Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala Says, “Administration Lacked Assessment”

Dushyant Chautala, the deputy chief minister of Haryana, said on Tuesday that the administration had failed to adequately analyze the situation in Nuh, where violence occurred on July 31 during a religious procession.

Chautala added that the additional DGP (law and order) had stated that the organizers had been given permission to conduct a rally of 3,200 people, and for that purpose the police force was deployed.

“…Lack of assessment by the administration which could not assess this entire episode properly. Nuh SP (now transferred) was on leave since July 22, the one who had the additional charge could not assess it properly and the officials from whom permission (for the procession) was taken too could not assess it properly. It is a point which is under investigation,” he told reporters here when asked whether there was an intelligence failure to assess the situation.

The JJP leader had previously claimed that the religious procession organizers, who were attacked in Nuh by a mob, did not provide the district administration with an accurate estimate of the expected turnout, which may have contributed to the violence.

The district’s suspension of mobile internet and SMS services has been extended by the state administration until August 11. Six individuals lost their lives in the racial riots that broke out in Nuh when a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession was attacked by crowds, including two home guards and a cleric.

According to a statement released on Tuesday by the home minister, Anil Vij, 312 people have been detained overall and 142 FIRs have been filed in relation with the communal violence in Haryana.
