On the 31st of July, a Muslim mob attacked a Jalabhishek Yatra during Shravan Somvar in Haryana’s Nuh. The Islamic mob fired bullets, pelted stones, and burnt vehicles and buildings in which four people including two home guards lost their lives and at least 30 people have been severely injured in the Mewat Shobha Yatra Attack.
Now, the CCTV footage of the Cyber Police station in Nuh has come out to the fore which indicates that the communal attack was allegedly utilised for wiping the cybercrime history from the police records. In the video, a bus can be seen entering the police station at the same time when the Muslim mob is seen pelting stones at a building.
This is serious! Nuh rioters hi-jacked a bus, rammed into Cyber PS, damaged cctv & looted/vandalised everything.
Note that Nuh region is hub of cyber criminals. Haryana police recently had massive crackdown & busted ₹100cr cyber scam. 60+ arrested & 250 still at large.
According to a report in NDTV, the mob forcibly took over a public bus and rammed it into the boundary wall of the Cyber Police Station on the day when Nuh anti-Hindu violence erupted. Subsequently, the mob then entered the police station and launched a targeted attack on the main building of the Cyber Police station.
They ransacked and vandalised everything in sight seemingly in a bid to destroy crucial evidence in several cases registered recently. It is alleged that the mob attempted to burn documents inside the police station and allegedly set the station on fire.
In the CCTV footage, it can also be seen that the mob also targeted the vehicles parked inside the police station. The visuals show that around 15 to 20 cars, of both police and civilians, have been damaged or burnt.
The targeted attack at the Cyber Police station in Nuh was seemingly a bid to destroy evidence in several cases registered by the police recently. For those unversed, there has been a rampant rise in cyber fraud in Nuh and it has been notorious as a hub for cyber crimes.
The Cyber Police station in Nuh was set up in the wake of rising incidences of cyber fraud and it was set up just two years ago.
The recent crackdown on cybercriminals in Nuh
In May 2023, Haryana Police busted a cybercrime racket in Nuh which had duped more than 28,000 individuals across India to mint Rs Rs 100 crore.
Back then, Nuh Superintendent of Police (SP) Varun Singla said, “The cybercriminals had defrauded around 28,000 people from 35 states and union territories to the tune of more than Rs 100 crore. They used to deposit money in fake bank accounts to avoid suspicion.”
Similarly, the police raided 320 locations in 14 villages in Nuh and arrested 66 suspected fraudsters in April, this year.
Singla said that 1,346 cases were filed against these cybercriminals across the country. During these raids, the police recovered several fake documents including fake Ids – Pan and Aadhar cards along with electronic gadgets.
According to reports, in terms of the number of cybercrimes recorded in the last three years, Haryana’s Nuh is only third after Rajasthan’s Bharatpur and UP’s Mathura.
As “proceeds of terrorism,” the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached one of the Popular Front of India’s (PFI) largest and oldest Arms and Physical Training Centres in accordance with the strict Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
It is the sixth PFI Arms Training Centre and the 18th entirety of real estate connected to the outlawed group that the NIA has attached in Kerala as part of its continuous efforts to combat terrorism.
The training centre named the Green Valley Academy is spread across a vast 10-hectare area in Kerala’a Manjeri and was looked after by the ‘Green Valley Foundation’ (GVF).
According to the reports, the area was initially used by the National Development Front’s cadres and subsequently by the PFI with which it merged.
NIA probe exposed that the PFI used the area for conducting arms training, physical training, and training sessions on the use and testing of explosives for its cadres. The PFI trained the cadres here who were associated with its ‘Service Wing’.
The investigation also cleared that many of the PFI service wing members hid at this location after committing henious crimes including murder. The cadres here were also trained with radical ideologies and were taught to promote the outfit’s communal agenda and politics.
The premise under the disguise of educational institutions housed several PFI frontal organizations. The NIA had already pursued legal action against five additional PFI training facilities in Kerala, namely Malabar House, Periyar Valley, Valluvanad House, Karunya Charitable Trust, and Trivandrum Education and Service Trust (TEST).
There are also an extra 12 offices attached, which are occasionally used by the leadership of the group to organise various criminal and terrorist acts, organise weapons and physical training, and spread ideology.
The PFI’s modus operandi, which entails running such training centres under the pretence of charity and educational trusts created by members or leaders of the organisation, has been revealed by the NIA’s investigations.
On March 17, 2023, the NIA filed a chargesheet in which it accused 59 people, including the PFI as a whole.
In the aftermath of the Islamist attack on Hindu devotees and Shobha Yatra in Mewat’s Nuh region, shocking details have emerged pointing to the pre-planned nature of the attack and the readiness of the mob to trap and kill Hindus.
OpIndia spoke to a VHP member and one of the victims of the violence, who shared stark details of how Islamists had planned to trap Hindus and finish them off in the dead of night.
“The attack on us was preplanned. They (Islamists) were waiting for Hindus to reach the temple. As soon as most Hindus had reached the spot and began proceeding towards the temple, they started attacking the remaining ones who were beginning to march towards Ferozepur Jhirka,” one of the eyewitnesses of the attack narrated.
Another Hindu describes how they had come under attack by Islamists in Nuh, Mewat. They were trying to attack Hindus in groups so they can “finish them” after trapping them during the night, he says. Says the attack was pre planned with ammo that can’t be arranged even in 2 days. pic.twitter.com/KBN31ir67V
“During that time, we received a call that Islamists had started attacking the devotees. When we reached the spot, the vehicle we had travelled in was under attack, with shots fired at its glasses and stones pelted at it. We saw our Hindu brothers lying on the road injured. Just then, a mob of 50-60 assailants from a narrow alleyway across the road started pelting stones at us,” the Hindu devotee said.
The stone pelting was followed by intense rounds of firing, the Hindu devotee said, asserting that more than 200-250 rounds were fired at them by the Islamists in Nuh.
“The attackers had walls of houses to hide, but we were all scrambling for our dear lives in the open ground. We were sitting ducks for them as they fired rounds after rounds of bullets at us. I saw many among us getting injured in the violent onslaught, some being tied to vehicles and burnt alive,” he added.
The eyewitness stated that there were no police officials to protect them, and the Hindus were left to fend for themselves. He said from 1 pm to 6 pm, Hindus warded off the relentless attack by the Islamists.
“We are unarmed while the other side was armed to the teeth. They were continuously firing at us. Over 200 armed men came out from the nearby mosque, raining bullets at us. We were somehow trying to protect our vehicles so that we could safely return to our homes, but when we stepped back in the face of relentless firing, they torched our vehicles, buses, and other cars present on the road,” he explained, giving a first-hand account of the violence that triggered unrest in Haryana’s Nuh.
He also added that the assailants had attacked Hindus while they were in the temple. The Islamists had surrounded the temple from neighbouring hilltops and started firing at the Hindus, the Hindu devotee said. “Their entire plan was to somehow trap Hindus in the temple for the night and finish them off.”
When asked if he thinks the attack was preplanned, the Hindu devotee replied, “It was indeed preplanned. From their preparations, it did not appear like the spur-of-the-moment eruption of violence but a carefully planned, well-thought-out conspiracy to trap Hindus and kill them. 15-year-old boys were sitting on their knees and firing at us.”
Mewat Shobha Yatra attack
On Monday, violence broke out in Haryana’s Nuh district during the ‘Brij Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra,’ which was organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal. The death toll from the clashes has now reached 5, including two personnel from the Haryana home guard. The deputy commissioner urged people to stay indoors, venture outside only for essential tasks, and disregard any circulating rumours.
Vehicles were burnt and stones pelted at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Jalabhishek Yatra as clashes erupted between two communities in the Muslim-majority region of Mewat in Haryana.
“Religious Brajmandal Yatra” organized annually by Bajrang Dal, Islamic Jihadis pelted heavy stones, violence, arson and direct bullets from the hills on the pilgrims on the ancient “Religious Yatra” of Nallahad Shiv Temple, the centre of faith and reverence of Hindus in Nuh, Mewat. In which hundreds of vehicles were damaged and burnt to ashes,” said a statement shared by Bajrang Dal on Twitter.
On Monday, July 31, 2023, Hindus were attacked in the Nuh area of Haryana while taking out a Jal Abhishek yatra. In this attack, 2 home guards including sweet seller Shakti Saini have been killed. Also, a Bajrang Dal activist named Abhishek Rajput was shot dead. After that, his throat was slit with a sharp weapon and his head was crushed with stones, the extent of brutality which is normally associated with terror outfits like the Taliban.
OpIndia spoke to Bharat Bhushan, who lives in the Hathin area of Mewat. On July 31, the day of the incident, Abhishek had come from Panipat to offer water to the Nalhad temple, he said. During this time, he was attacked by a Muslim mob. According to Bharat Bhushan, the rioters first shot Abhishek and later slit his throat. He said that Abhishek’s family has come to Nuh to collect the body.
OpIndia called up and spoke to Bajrang Dal’s Panipat district convenor Bobby to get more information about the Abhishek murder case. Bobby told us that around 100 people, including him and Abhishek, had gone to the Nalhad temple in Nuh in a bus and some vehicles. Shortly after offering prayers at the temple, they were suddenly attacked by a mob of about 250 Muslims.
Bobby claims that his convoy was accompanied by a Haryana Police DSP along with some constables, who just fired a round or two in the air and were done with that. Describing himself as an eyewitness to the incident, Bobby further said that Hindu organisations protected the policemen and stood by them.
During this time, when the violent mob of Muslims moved towards women, Hindu organisations first decided to protect them. When the women were being sent back to the temple, firing started from the Muslim side. Abhishek Rajput, a resident of Noorwala area of Panipat, was shot in the waist and fell there. According to Bobby, the man accompanying Abhishek tried to lift him up but he was already unconscious.
Bobby also claimed that when some people took the women to safer places, a mob of Muslims reached near the Bajrang Dal activists. According to Bobby, Abhishek Rajput could not defend himself due to being badly injured. It is alleged that the attackers in the crowd first slit Abhishek’s throat in a Talibani style and later smashed his head with stones. Abhishek died on the spot.
Bobby said that Abhishek was the block convenor of Bajrang Dal and he came from a poor family of Panipat. He used to work as a car mechanic to earn a living for the house. Abhishek has another brother, who works in a factory. The father of the deceased also worked hard to raise the children.
Notably, it has been revealed about Nuh violence that its preparations were being done for 6 months. During the attack, AK-47 was fired on the people surrounding in the temple premises. A 14-year-old boy was also shooting.
On Tuesday, August 1, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) raided two premises linked to UK-based controversial NGO Khalsa Aid’s India chapter. The raids started simultaneously at Rishi Colony and a house at Shera Wala Gate in Patiala, Punjab, at around 6 AM and continued until the afternoon.
Furthermore, NIA conducted other raids in Amritsar, Mohali and Muktsar districts. Notably, the Mohali raid was at the house of Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) terrorist Paramjit Singh Pamma located in Phase 3B2. At Pamma’s house, NIA reached at 6 AM and remained there till 10:30 AM. They questioned his parents during the raid.
Pamma is one of the most wanted on NIA’s list for his involvement in various terrorist activities, including the murder of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat (RSS affiliate organisation) president Rulda Singh. He was shot dead in Patiala in August 2009.
A Khalsa Aid representative said the reason behind the raid was unclear. NIA only questioned Amarpreet Singh and his family members. Though Patiala Police accompanied NIA officials, they were not part of the questioning.
In a statement, Amarpreet Singh said he answered all the questions asked by NIA officials. He has been summoned to visit the NIA office in Delhi on 3rd August. Amarpreet Singh said NIA asked him if Khalsa Aid was involved in anti-national activities.
They asked about the funding and volunteers. NIA has asked for documents related to Khalsa Aid that Singh must take to the NIA office. They seized Singh’s phone and some documents related to Khalsa Aid. He claimed such actions by agencies would lower the morale of Khalsa Aid members indulged in volunteer work.
NIA’s investigation against Khalsa AID
During farmer protests in 2021, Khalsa Aid came under NIA’s radar for its involvement in some “volunteer service” at the protest sites after NIA registered a case against Sikhs for Justice under UAPA. It was alleged SFJ was pumping funds into farmer protests via NGOs to propagate its so-called Referendum 2020 for a separate Sikh state. While the protests against the now-repealed three farm laws were happening at the Delhi border, NIA summoned Khalsa Aid representatives and others, including leaders of farmer unions, farmers, activities, and journalists from Punjab and Haryana. However, their appearance was put on hold due to the ongoing protests.
Khalsa Aid’s chief Ravi Singh is a staunch Khalistan supporter and has repeatedly spoken against the PM Modi-led government of India.
As the communal clashes that originated in Nuh spilt over to Gurugram, a new wave of violence flared up in Badshahpur on Tuesday. Approximately 200 men arrived on motorbikes and SUVs, leading to the vandalization of 14 shops in the main market of Badshahpur. Meanwhile, in the Sector 66 area of Gurugram, the mob set fire to 7 stores.
“Law and order remain stable. Although there was a spill-over effect in Sohna from the events in Nuh yesterday, the situation was effectively brought under control by evening. We took measures such as conducting a flag march. In Gurugram, one death was reported near the Sector 57 mosque, and in Sohna, five vehicles were torched, and 2-3 shops were vandalized,” stated Gurugram deputy commissioner Nishant Yadav on Tuesday, as reported by news agency PTI.
The deputy commissioner added an appeal to the public, urging them to stay indoors, go outside only for essential tasks, and not to believe in rumours.
“In order to avoid any untoward incident and ensure the safety of the students, it is deemed necessary to close all Government and private educational institutions in the Sohna Sub-division of District Gurugram on 2nd August 2023, in view of the prevailing circumstances,” the statement by Gurugram District Magistrate office said.
Mewat Shobha Yatra attack
On Monday, violence broke out in Haryana’s Nuh district during the ‘Brij Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra,’ which was organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal. The death toll from the clashes has now reached 5, including two personnel from the Haryana home guard. The deputy commissioner urged people to stay indoors, venture outside only for essential tasks, and disregard any circulating rumours.
Vehicles were burnt and stones pelted at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Jalabhishek Yatra as clashes erupted between two communities in the Muslim-majority region of Mewat in Haryana.
“Religious Brajmandal Yatra” organized annually by Bajrang Dal, Islamic Jihadis pelted heavy stones, violence, arson and direct bullets from the hills on the pilgrims on the ancient “Religious Yatra” of Nallahad Shiv Temple, the centre of faith and reverence of Hindus in Nuh, Mewat. In which hundreds of vehicles were damaged and burnt to ashes,” said a statement shared by Bajrang Dal on Twitter.
On Tuesday, the 1st of August, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) busted the terror network of Al Quaeda and arrested three highly radicalised men from Rajkot. The security agency also recovered a weapon from their possession. The arrested accused have been identified as Abdul Shukur, Aman Malik, and Saif Nawaz. The Police officials stated that the three accused hail from West Bengal.
According to the officials, the terror suspects worked in the jewellery industry and had been under surveillance for some time. They were allegedly running the Al Qaeda terror network in Gujarat.
Speaking with The Indian Express, a senior ATS officer said, “The three accused are highly radicalised individuals. We recovered a semi-automatic pistol, 10 cartridges, and radical literature from their possession.” The ATS officials asserted that the accused were planning some terror-related activity.
The officials said, “The suspects were also in touch with foreign handlers. They had acquired a pistol and ten rounds of ammunition. We suspect that they were planning to commit some terror-related activity.”
The three accused were in touch with operatives of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), a banned terrorist organisation with links to Al Qaeda, officials said. JMB is a terrorist organisation banned in Bangladesh, India, and other countries.
The officials stated that the three accused were allegedly involved in the radicalisation of youth and recruiting people through the Internet to join their terror network in Gujarat.
The ATS is currently interrogating all three terror suspects. Later, they will be taken to Ahmedabad where the ATS will produce them before the court and seek their remand.
The arrests are part of an ongoing probe by ATS in connection with four Bangladesh nationals who illegally entered the country. According to a statement by ATS, it was alleged that the four accused were trying to radicalise local youth in Ahmedabad and collecting money.
Gujarat’s ATS crackdown against Illegal Bangladeshi and Al-Qaeda terror module
On 11 July, the Gujarat ATS and Surat Crime Branch jointly launched an operation to arrest a Bangladeshi national in Surat.
The arrested accused allegedly had links with Al-Qaeda. The preliminary investigation revealed that the arrested suspect was a member of a different Al-Qaeda module than the suspects detained on May 21 in Ahmedabad.
However, the handler of the accused arrested in May and those arrested in July were the same. According to reports, the accused were guided by handlers named Shariful Islam and Shayba.
Violence was unleashed by a Muslim mob on 31 July 2023, Monday, in Nuh, Haryana as they attacked a religious Hindu procession on Shravan Somvar. 5 people including two home guards were killed in the violence and at least 50 others including policemen & deputy superintendent of police (DSP) were injured.
OpIndia spoke to Nuh police and found that the two home guards who were killed were trapped when the Islamist mob went on a rampage. Initial probe reveals that one home guard was shot and the other died in stone pelting.
Thousands of Hindus sought shelter in nearby temples of Nuh to save themselves from the Islamist mob which went on a rampage setting vehicles alight. In response to the attack on Jalabhishek Yatra, workers of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) also retaliated by pelting stones back at the assailants.

The Hindus who sought shelter in the Nalhar temple have been rescued and were escorted home as police filed FIRs to launch an investigation.
Several videos went viral online showing the extent of damage before the administration restricted internet services and imposed Section 144 in the area. The videos showed a hostile mob charging at the rally with threatening chants of “Allahu Akbar”.
Temples were also desecrated while smoke could be seen billowing showing the extent of damage in videos recorded by the residents living at a distance from the scene of the incident.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has stated that the violence was planned. Several videos of planned attacks by Islamists doing rounds on social media confirm this allegation, which is not the first in this region. Mewat is notorious for a variety of crimes reported extensively by OpIndia. Its history has branded it as a ‘mini Pakistan’ in neighboring areas.
Mewat – A mini Pakistan
Nuh is a district in the Muslim-majority Mewat region, known as the “homeland of Meo Muslims”. Out of its 1.09 million population, Muslims account for 79.20% (862,647) of the population whereas the Hindu minority accounts for 20.37% (221,846), according to the 2011 census.
Enough evidence to prove that #Mewat riots are preplanned.
They even showcased their terrorist activities online.
In the Punahana tehsil of Mewat, Muslims make up 87% of the population, and 85% in Ferozepur Jhirka tehsils. In Nuh, the district currently in the news after the attack on a Hindu procession, Muslims make up more than 76% of the population. And the numbers are only rising at an alarming rate.
Five tehsils of the Mewat region that fall in Haryana comprised more than a million Muslims in 2011. Their population share rose from 62% in 1971 to 75% in recent years. The report published by the Centre for Policy Studies reads, “From the data, it is clear that the Muslims of Mewat have numerically flourished in the period following Independence. And, they seem to be in the process of establishing an exclusively Muslim pocket in the near future.”
The district, carved out of Faridabad and Gurgaon in 2005, is also the land of origin of the Tablighi Jamaat in 1926, a community that has grown parallel to a surging crime rate. The Tablighi Jamaat was founded in Mewat by Maulana Muhammad Ilyas with the aim to suppress and challenge Hindu values by converting to and propagating Islam across Indian villages. Naturally, Hindus often fall prey to the notorious majority.
A committee headed by former Justice Pawan Kumar in 2020 investigated cases of Muslim atrocities in the region. Based on the findings, the committee chair likened Mewat to Pakistan and said that the district is becoming a “graveyard of Dalits”.
The committee found that owing to the fear of Islamists, only 19 out of 48 Dalit victims could muster the courage to file complaints. Statistics released by the Haryana government also corroborate the committee’s findings. In 2021, only 19 crimes against SCs were registered.
The findings of the team revealed that the molestation of girls and women has become pervasive all over Mewat which has been hindering girls from continuing their studies. The report revealed that more than two hundred instances of forced conversion have come to light. Because of the lack of action by the authorities, families are under pressure to be converted.
The communally charged atmosphere of Mewat is not recent. It is a virus that has been infecting Mewat gradually over decades. According to this report, in 2010, the official number of some of the crimes was thus; 21 cases of murder, 32 cases of rape, 33 kidnappings, and 241 bike thefts.
But this is only a fraction of the factors that make Mewat a mini Pakistan. In September 2018, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) busted a hawala module and arrested 3 terrorists associated with Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation, an organisation run by Hafiz Saeed’s Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The accused were identified as Mohammad Salman, Mohammad Salim, and Sajjad Abdul Wani. Interestingly, Salman was a resident of Uttawar village in Mewat. A month later, it came to light that the Khulafa-e-Rashideen mosque in the same village was built with funds received from the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba.
This hotbed of crime is witnessing more and more crimes against Hindus, and the violence on 31st July has exposed what can be a sinister and organized anti-Hindu crime campaign.
From cybercrime, cattle-smuggling to crimes against women and Hindus, here is a list of cases reported by OpIndia showing just how deep the rot runs.
26 October 2020: Nikita Tomar brutally murdered in broad daylight
A terrifying incident of attempted love jihad and forced conversion of non-Muslims into Islam came to the fore with the blood-curdling murder of a 21-year-old student named Nikita Tomar in Mewat. She was shot dead in broad daylight by two men outside the Aggarwal College in Ballabgarh, Faridabad.

One of the two assailants, Tauseef had been repeatedly harassing her and making advances at Nikita. She had filed a complaint of molestation and harassment against Tauseef earlier. The shocking incident was caught on camera, visuals of which had gone instantly viral in the aftermath of the brutal killing.
The murder sparked massive furor across the country. The prime accused of Tomar’s murder, Touseef, belonged to Mewat.
25 July 2023: Muslim mob threatens to attack police
On Tuesday, 25 July 2023, a mobster identified as Jabir Ghatmika from Mewat issued open threats to the police in a video. In this approximately 3-minute-long viral video, Ghatmika can be seen provoking the Muslim mob urging them to assault police personnel over the alleged custodial death of a Shekul Khan.
“I am telling the public. If the CIA police enter a village without information, if they are not from your local police station, then break their hands and legs. Cut them apart. Because there is a section for self-defense. Tell me, Sir, how do we know if there are goons? Are there any stars? Is there anything written on their forehead? Are they here to protect us? Because they themselves have become terrorists, my brothers”, the Islamist warned.
27 April 2023: Cybercriminals raided
Haryana Police conducted multiple raids in the Nuh district as part of its massive crackdown against cyber criminals. 102 police teams comprising over 5,000 personnel raided 14 villages in Nuh and apprehended 125 cybercriminals or hackers. Due to the increase in “sextortion” cases and online fraud, the Nuh region in Haryana has become a hotbed for cybercrime.
2 November 2022: Minor raped by Sajid, 32
An 11-year-old minor Hindu girl was raped by 32-year-old Sajid for six months. At first, he lured her with food and raped her. He then threatened her as he continued the sexual abuse. The victim was six months pregnant when Sajid was caught.
10 September 2022: Mining mafia attacks police team
Two months after the murder of Nuh DSP Surendra Singh Bishnoi, the mining mafia attacked a joint team of police, the local Mining Department, and the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) during a raid at an illegal mining site in Haryana’s Nuh district. During the raid at an illegal mining site near Nuh, the team was attacked by unidentified individuals.

19 July 2022: DSP murdered by mining mafia’
Haryana DSP Taoru Surendra Singh Bishnoi was run over by the mining mafia and killed in Panchaon near Nuh in Mewat region of Haryana. As per reports, DSP Bishnoi had gone for a surprise inspection of a site where illegal mining was taking place.
However, the mining mafia ran the dumper over him and killed him. The primary accused in the Nuh DSP killing, Shabir alias Mittar, was caught on July 20 during an encounter with the Haryana Police.
6 July 2022: Mewat man offers Rs 2 crores to slit Nupur Sharma’s tongue
An Islamist in Mewat declared that he will give Rs 2 crores to any person who slits Nupur Sharma’s tongue. The incident took place days after the Supreme Court judges said that Nupur Sharma’s ‘loose’ tongue is responsible for the communal disharmony in the country and Kanhaiya Lal’s brutal murder by Islamists in Udaipur.

In a viral video, the Islamist said, “I am giving this on behalf of the whole Mewat. If somebody slits Nupur Sharma’s tongue and brings it to me, the offer is Rs. 2 crores for the one who does so. Rs 2 crores. I will give it on behalf of the whole Mewat. And if you slit her tongue, you journalist, I will give you Rs. 2 crores. You get this offer.”
A large number of Rohingyas sheltered by Nuh Muslims
The Muslim-majority Nuh is also infamous for harboring a large number of Rohingya Muslims who have been provided shelter by the locals. Most of the Rohingyas took shelter in Haryana after they were removed from Delhi, where they were living earlier.
Representational Image (via AFP/ Cek Mad)
There are reportedly 600-700 Rohingya families currently settled in the state. Around 2 thousand Rohingyas are said to be living in Mewat district alone. Most of the Rohingyas living in Haryana are reportedly settled in Mewat (Nuh), Faridabad, Gurugram, Palwal, and Yamunanagar districts.
Other districts in the state also have Rohingya Muslims but it is difficult to trace them since most of them have forged IDs like Aadhar cards, Ration cards, and voter cards.
Mewat Region: hotbed of criminal elements
To think that the rapidly changing demographics in Nuh are only limited to the district is to build a roadmap for jihadists to sneak into surrounding pockets impacting the larger demography of the state of Haryana and even beyond in a few years. This impact can be seen already in the pattern of crimes that appear to have spilled over from Mewat into the adjoining areas that include Gurugram, Ferozepur Jhirka, Palwal, Faridabad, Rewari, and parts of adjoining Alwar and Bharatpur districts of Rajasthan.
Even the national capital is bearing the brunt of the Mewati gangs operating in its backyard.
Here are some of the recent cases of crime reported from these regions and why investigative research should be launched into the geographic and demographic pattern of these crimes.
26 July 2023: Girl gang-raped by four men
In Haryana’s Palwal, a girl was abducted by Akram and Mansaad who stuffed a cloth in her mouth and took her to a location in the forest. Two more men were present there. The four youths gang-raped the girl, who was later found lying unconscious in the field.
The family has said that they fear for their life and that the accused, who they claimed are local goons, could harm them (the family).
19 July 2023: Seven men assault mother-daughter duo
Nasir, Rashid, Majru, Samsu, Jahoor, Tasneem, and Taufeek harassed a woman and her daughter in Palwar last month. The seven accused, armed with sticks and axe, barged into the house of a man while he was away for work and attempted to force themselves on the mother-daughter duo.
21 May 2023: Mohammed Ikhlash entraps Dehradun woman
Palwal-based Mohammed Ikhlash posed as Manoj and trapped a Hindu woman from Dehradun in Uttarakhand. The victim met Ikhlash online in 2019. He identified himself as Manoj and told her that he was studying at GD Goenka University in Gurugram. He trapped the woman, blackmailed her to have physical relations with him, and extorted money from her, until one day the victim learned of his real name Ikhlash. He was arrested from his hometown in Hathin in Palwal.
30 June 2022: Hindu man stabbed by a mob led by Anjum and Bilal

“Anjum stabbed me in my chest and I collapsed on the street. Some people came to help me after my friends screamed for help. Anjum threatened me to kill some other time again and he ran away from the spot”, Vicky said.
18 October 2022: Mewati gang kingpin arrested in Delhi

“This is Sector 10 of Gurugram. I am coming here (every Friday) for the past 10 years,” the man named Khalid informed. Local residents were also outraging against biased coverage of the peaceful Gurugram protests against the offering of Namaz on the streets.
Here is a list of crimes emanating from Mewat and crimes that have been exported and/or spilled over into other regions, sometimes adjoining areas, and sometimes other states.
Contribution of the ecosystem and the works
Being a Muslim-majority region has its own perks in a leftist liberal ecosystem. Going by their logic, if crime statistics in a Muslim-majority area are alarming then poverty, lack of development, ignorance etc etc are to be blamed. One is expected to feel sorry for the Mewat Islamists for the rampant crimes they commit and supply to the surrounding regions. Take for example this bunch of reports to understand just how strong the fence is to protect even the criminal so long as it is a certain ‘minority’.
24 December 2021: Islamist media gives communal colour to peaceful Hindu rally
Meer Faisal, a multimedia “journalist” with Islamist outfit Maktoob Media, took to Twitter to post a host of videos about a Bajrang Dal rally in Mewat to fear monger about Hindus outfits trying to create a “communal divide” between Hindus and Muslims of the area. After the videos, he shared an article by Maktoob Media that essentially said that Muslims of Mewat, popularly known as Mini Pakistan because of the rapes, abductions, Jihadi violence, and forced conversions of Hindu women, were living in eternal fear of Hindu outfits.
Meer Faisal stated in his Twitter thread that on the 12th of December, Bajrang Dal member Jeet Vashisht took to Facebook to post videos of a saffron rally in Nuh, the Muslim-majority area in Mewat. He said that Jai Shree Ram slogans were raised in front of Muslim households and that the rally was carried out with over 500 cars filled with “Hindutva supporters” who had entered the area to saffronize Mewat.
This narrative was being spun even as Jeet Vashishth received several threats.
28 June 2021: SC dismisses plea seeking protection for Hindus from Muslims in Mewat
The Supreme Court of India dismissed a petition seeking protection of Hindus from the dominant Muslim community in the Nuh district (Mewat) of Haryana.
As per reports, the petition was filed by a group of lawyers and activists through advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain. It read, “A number of Hindus have been forcibly converted to Islam and a number of Hindu women and minor girls have been abducted and raped. The Hindu women are not safe at all. The Muslims at a large number have committed atrocities on members of Schedule caste.”
The petitioners highlighted that the local police, the district administration, and the State government have failed to exercise their power in upholding the life and liberty of the Hindu community. The petition stated that the Hindu population in Nuh had declined from 20% (in 2011) to 10-11% now while the Muslim population has increased under the patronage of Tablighi Jammat.

29 April 2019: Cong neta plays religion card in Mewat
A Congress leader, Zahida Khan, while asking for Rohingya-affected Mewat region in Rajasthan, urged the Gujjars and the Muslims to come together to vote especially if they could ‘come together to rob’.
The controversial statement was given in Kaman, Rajasthan where Khan said, “If Mewat backs a candidate, then 36 communities back that candidate. The way I have been welcomed here I am hopeful that if God willing, Abhijit will become the MP here. But do give him more votes than you’d give me. For five years you supported but when it came to casting vote, you displayed your Gujjar identity. This time I request with folded hands to not repeat this mistake.”

The situation is so visibly grim that the Meo Muslims, combined with Rohingyas, combined with Tablighi Jamaat, combined with the left-liberal ecosystem, combined with appeasement politics consider themselves strong enough to openly attack a peaceful minority Hindu rally.
These are the same Mewatis who were all packed and ready to leave India for the Islamic Banana Republic of Pakistan in 1947 until that fateful day when Gandhi convinced them to stay back. And to think that on 15 August 2023, India will mark its 76th Independence day.
On Monday (July 31), the official Twitter handle of the Congress party committed a faux pas after it posted a picture of an UPA-era road to shame the incumbent Modi government at the Centre.
In a tweet (archive), it wrote, “The truth is far from false promises (jumla).” The Twitter handle shared three images, with the captions ‘How India should be’, ‘How India is’ and ‘How PM Modi portrays it.’
In its desperate bid to target the Modi government, the Congress party attached a picture of a poorly constructed road that dated back to the UPA era. The image featured a crater-sized pothole in the middle of the road with a truck stuck under it. It was accompanied by the caption ‘How India is’.

The grand-old party suggested that Indian roads, under the Modi government, were in poor condition and thus unfit for commutation. The disturbing image of potholes, in the middle of the road, was added to portray misrule and mismanagement by the Centre under the current political dispensation.
Interestingly, the image used for making such an insinuation has been around for over a decade. A quick Google reverse image search led us to a blog named ‘Cute Pictures Gallery.’ The image, bearing the watermark of ‘My India pictures,’ was uploaded on September 24, 2012.
Another WordPress blog named ‘Ashwin Sharma’ also posted the same image in November 2012.

In October 2019, the French international news agency AFP conducted a fact-check and determined that the image was indeed from India. The electric poles on both sides had advertisements in Hindi, with one written as ‘Gemini Circus.’
AFP also noted that the images have been on the internet since 2012. Interestingly, the Modi government came to power at the Centre only in May 2014 i.e. 2 years after the image had first made it to the sites mentioned above. At that time, the Congress-led UPA government was in power.
While the grand-old party wanted to taunt the BJP government over the condition of roads, it was left embarrassed after people realised that the pictures were taken during the UPA era. Despite the misleading character of the images, the official handle of Congress did not bother to delete the tweet or cite an apology.
A 23-year-old individual identified as Irshad Mumtaz Khan from Bihar has been arrested from Delhi for kidnapping a 17-year-old girl from Sewree.
The incident happened on July 23 when the girl left her house unannounced at about four in the afternoon. After two days of waiting in the hopes that she would return voluntarily, the parents decided to file a case of kidnapping against an unidentified person on July 25.
The cops started looking since it was most important to track down the minor. Police looked into the victim’s parents’ mobile phones, her house number, and the numbers of her friends; call data records (CDR) of all these numbers were gathered. The cops began looking into a certain number after noticing that the victim called it regularly.
The same man had taken the girl to Delhi by rail on the day she vanished, according to reports and CCTV footage. After that, a team was sent to Delhi, where they started the search operation alongside the local police stations.
Due to the suspect’s continuous moves, the police were unable to track down his specific location even though they had the suspect’s tower position. “We obtained his current CDR with the help of our technical team and found his most contacted number and the location of the same. During this we understood that the suspect was working at a bag factory, a little away from the main town,” said an official.
The accused was then nabbed by the police with the help of the local police. After the arrest, Khan confessed to the case.
Both, the accused and the girl were taken to Sewree police station in Delhi after they were presented at a municipal court. The accused was taken into custody on kidnapping allegations while the girl was returned to her parents.
