India, July 19 -- A city court granted bail to a man allegedly involved in the murder of a cleric who was shot dead inside the Anjuman Jama Masjid in Sector 57 after it was vandalised by a violent mob during the 2023 Nuh communal riots. The court of additional district judge Puneet Sehgal directed the accused, Sukhraj alias Kubra of Bandhwari village, to furnish a bail bond of Rs.1 lakh with one surety of equal amount.

Three other accused were granted bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in July 2024.

The communal riots broke out during an annual religious procession in Nuh on July 31, 2023, leaving six people including a home guard dead, and more than 72 injured. The riots had spread till Gurugram following which an armed mob barged inside the mosque and shot dead its naib imam Mohammad Saad on the intervening night of July 31 and August 1. The mosque was later set on fire....
