Despite the administration's assurances that the law and order situation in Gurugram was under control, a mob in the Badshahpur neighborhood set fire to stores and food stands in a new instance of communal violence. In Badshahpur, the mob trashed a few stores owned by one group of people and yelled "Jai Shri Ram" in front of a mosque.
"Some young people were trying to stir up trouble in the market while yelling "Jai Shri Ram. Satish Kumar, SHO of the Badshahpur police station, said, "We arrived and took care of the issue.
The thieves plundered at least three stores in Badshahpur, and a group of men destroyed stores on Basai Road in Gurugram close to Pataudi Chowk.
According to Yadav, the law and order situation in the Nuh district of Haryana and the surrounding Gurugram suburbs could be threatened by the racial tensions there. He said that in order to keep the district's public order, peace, and harmony, quick preventive steps were necessary.
The order stated, "With immediate effect, all fuel stations operating in Gurugram district are strictly prohibited from selling loose petrol/diesel to any person (except for emergency purposes)." This was done "[in] exercise of the powers conferred upon me under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974), and in the interest of public safety and security."
In a second order, the official stated that due to the local unrest, all educational institutions in Gurugram's Sohna neighborhood will be closed on August 2. Other Gurugram neighborhoods' educational institutions will run normally.
The violence that broke out on Monday following an attack on a VHP march in the neighboring Nuh region has already claimed the lives of five people.
On Tuesday, the Vishva Hindu Parishad compared the episode of communal violence in Haryana to a "terror attack" and requested that the National Investigation Agency conduct an investigation. Surendra Jain, the joint general secretary of the VHP, alleged during a press conference that the attacks on Hindu worshippers on Monday during a religious parade were "pre-planned" and "incited" by some Congress leaders in Haryana. Additionally, he accused the state police of lacking information and asserted that rioters attacked Hindu pilgrims during the parade using sophisticated weaponry as well as common firearms.
