At least 12 people were injured in two separate violent clashes in Haryana’s Nuh district on Thursday following Bakrid (Eid al-Adha) prayers. Local authorities were called to restore order in both Nizampur and Singar villages as altercations between rival groups escalated into physical confrontations.
In the first incident at Nizampur village, a dispute involving an old Panchayat election led to a violent encounter between groups led by Jamil and Ramzi. Eyewitnesses reported that the participants utilized stones, sticks, and axes, causing widespread panic in the area. Officers from the Akera police station intervened to pacify the groups, though Inspector Virendra Kumar noted that no formal complaints have been filed by either party as of now.
A second, unrelated clash occurred in Singar village, stemming from a long-standing rivalry between two groups. Police from the Bichor station arrived to bring the situation under control after a minor altercation turned into a brawl. Inspector Sukhbir confirmed that, similar to the Nizampur incident, no formal complaints have been lodged with the authorities.
Moving forward, the situation in both villages is being monitored by local law enforcement. We see likely that police will continue to evaluate the need for further intervention, though officials have stated that official action remains contingent upon the receipt of formal complaints.
