Indicating that the violence in Nuh could have been pre-planned, Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said that a high-level probe has been ordered to zero down on those who indulged in violence.
Addressing the media, Vij said that the way violence took place with stones being hurled, and firing taking place, it was clear that the violence did not happen all of a sudden.
“There was some mastermind who wanted to disturb the peace of the country and the state involved in it. But we assure people that an inquiry will be conducted in this matter and whoever is found guilty will not be spared,’’ said the minister.
He said 220 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) were being deployed in the violence-hit Nuh, and Air Force was also kept on standby. The Home Minister also appealed to all political parties to maintain peace.
“It is not the time to do politics, it is the time to restore peace and tranquility and the political parties who are speaking should restore peace with their own resources,’’ he said.
Vij said the situation in Nuh is under control and a curfew has been imposed in the district along with suspension of internet services. An adequate amount of force has been deployed to deal with any situation.
He said that last night also forces were deployed from the districts adjacent to Nuh and today forces are being sent from other parts of Haryana also.
Vij said that so far two Home Guard personnel have been martyred, one unknown person has died and a large number of police personnel have been injured, adding that three policemen who have been shot are on ventilators and their treatment is going on.
