Based on a complaint by Jawahar Marg resident Mohammad Shabbir, cops registered a case against the unidentified accused.

In the complaint, Shabbir alleged that on Sunday morning when they reached the mosque for morning prayers, they found broken glass shards inside the mosque and its premises and some burn marks on the wall.

They checked the CCTVs and found out about the vandalism.

Following the incident, security in the region was intensified in Haryana’s Nuh district. Reportedly, the incident took place on Wednesday night at nearly 11:40 pm and no one was injured, but, both the mosques suffered some damage.

According to the officials, a bangle shop in Palwal district’s Minar Gate market was also set on fire by unidentified assailants. Mobile internet has been suspended in several areas of Nuh in the wake of the ongoing clashes that erupted in the district on Monday.
