Gurgaon Violence: Delhi On Alert As Haryana Violence Spreads To Affluent Gurugram Areas

Gurugram violence: Flames and smoke rise from shops set on fire in Gurugram.

Gurugram: Delhi has tightened security and deployed drones to monitor sensitive areas after the ripples from Monday's communal clash in Haryana's Nuh reached posh areas of Gurugram.

Here are 10 facts on this big story:

Gurugram has imposed prohibitory orders after several shops and shanties near a residential society in Gurugram were set on fire on Tuesday. Sale of loose petrol or diesel has also been banned to prevent incidents of arson.
Police also urged citizens not to believe rumours, and not give credence to reports on social media.
Violence broke out during a religious procession in Nuh on Monday -- just 50 km from Delhi -- following what many say is an objectionable video that went viral. As a mob attacked the procession with stones, the 2,500-plus participants rushed into a temple to take shelter.
The violence escalated as the evening progressed -- a mosque was torched post-midnight, more than a hundred vehicles were torched and vandalised as mobs went on rampage in Nuh and neighbouring Gurugram.
Right-wing organisations Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal are conducting protest marches in several parts of Delhi against the violence in Haryana. The protests have led to traffic jams in several other parts of Delhi and its neighbouring areas.
Videos on social media showed Bajrang Dal supporters reciting Hanuman Chalisa near the Nirman Vihar Metro Station. Later, they tried to block Vikas Marg but were removed by police.
The Supreme Court has also urged Delhi authorities to deploy heavy force and install CCTVs to prevent any escalation.
The deaths of at least six people, including two police personnel, in clashes between Hindus and Muslims that erupted on Monday around 50 km south of New Delhi, and simmered even a day later, have also brought questions about the role of social media posts and alleged inaction on the part of the authorities in sharp focus.
A Special Investigation Team is being set up to investigate the cases of communal violence and the role of Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has said he suspects a "conspiracy" behind Monday's clashes and called the incident "unfortunate." He claimed that some people conspired an attack on those taking part in the yatra and the police, leading to violence at several places.
