Explanation

Violent clashes erupted between two groups in HaryanaтАЩs Nuh, adjoining Gurugram during a religious procession by Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP). It was rumoured that the cow vigilante and Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar, also an accused in Junaid and Nasir murder case, would attend the said procession. Following this, the communal clashes broke out leaving six dead and several injured. Multiple houses, shops, and religious places are vandalised. Multiple images from the Nuh violence are being circulated on social media platforms. A few such images claiming to be from Haryana can be seen here and here.

What is the truth?

When reverse searching the viral images we found that they are old and unrelated to Nuh violence.
