Haryana violence: Those found guilty won't be spared, says chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar

NEW DELHI: Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday said that police are examining call records and CCTV footage to identify culprits behind violence in Nuh and added that "those found responsible won't be spared."


CM Khattar said that 20 companies of central forces have been deployed in Haryana, 14 of them in Nuh, 3 in Palwal, 2 in Gurugram and one in Faridabad. The state government has sought four more companies of central forces, he said and added "one battalion of the IRB will also be deployed in Nuh."

Police have arrested 116 people and detained 90 since Monday's clashes, he said.

The Haryana chief minister also said those who indulged in violence and damaged private property will be made to compensate for it.

"We have passed an Act wherein it provides that the government will provide compensation for loss to public property but as far as private property is concerned those who caused the loss are liable to compensate for it. So, we will ensure compensation is collected from those who are liable for it," he said.

On Bajrang Dal's Monu Manesar, the Haryana chief minister said the Rajasthan Police are free to act against him and his govt will extend all needed help.
