A mob of about 30 youngsters allegedly assaulted two brothers, identified as Nisar Ali and Rustam Ali, in Haryana’s Gurugram on Wednesday evening, police said on Thursday. The victims, natives of Malda district in West Bengal, are living in a slum here.


According to a complaint by Nisar, a group of 25 to 30 youths came to the slum on Tuesday and told the dwellers to leave the city by Wednesday. “Around 7 pm on Wednesday, Rustam and I were going to the slum from Sector 70, when four-five youths came and asked my name and started beating us. Soon, over 25 youths joined them and thrashed us badly. They also made derogatory comments about my religion. They fled when some people gathered,” he stated.


“An FIR has been registered and we are trying to nab the accused,” said a cop In neighbouring Nuh, where the violence originally erupted on July 31, a mosque was set on fire on Wednesday night. Another mosque suffered damage apparently after a short circuit, officials said on Thursday. Six people have died in the violence that has spread areas adjoining Nuh in Haryana.
